It looks like Joey Barton's date with destiny is finally looming.

His future is set to be decided this week but the big question is will Rangers fans get a discount on their Christmas gifts if he leaves the club?

They've already released their 2017 annual with Barton on the front cover. Awkward...

Meanwhile, it's all happening in the capital. While every Hibs fan is getting emotional after Monday's Scottish Cup final cinema experience there's bad news to burst their bubble.

Striker James Keatings is out for six weeks with a knee injury.

Across the city Ann Budge has proven once again she is the Queen of Hearts, mingling with the kids and having her face painted at a charity event.

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a 2017 full of Joey Barton...

Get well soon club shop.

STV Sport's Graham Ruthven hits a new low. We don't know him, honest.
