The top-flight now enters its winter break earlier than planned after the Scottish Government introduced restrictions on crowds at sporting events.
Attention now turns to the January transfer window with most clubs likely to do business, looking to strengthen for the second half of the season, with some players moved on to get game time.
Those players in the final months of their contract will have big decisions to make also. A number of key players for Premiership sides have yet to put pen to paper on new deals, including Tony Watt, Connor Goldson and John Souttar.
Teams return to action in the middle of the month.
