Scottish Cup Draw: Quarter-Final Showdown Between Rangers and Celtic
The Scottish Cup quarter-final draw has been announced, and it's set to be a thrilling encounter as Rangers and Celtic will face off in a blockbuster match. This will be their second meeting in two weeks, following a recent Premiership clash where Danny Rohl's Rangers claimed a 3-1 away victory over Celtic.
The upcoming quarter-final will take place on the weekend of March 7th, just a week after the teams compete in the league in Govan. With the title race heating up, this match promises to be an exciting spectacle.
Rangers, led by Martin O'Neill, demonstrated their resilience by beating Dundee 2-1 after extra time, and they secured their place in the quarter-finals with an 8-0 thrashing of Queen's Park, avenging a previous cup loss to the Spiders.
Cup holders Aberdeen, drawn away to Dunfermline, must first overcome Motherwell in the fifth round after their Pittodrie clash was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
Dundee United's tie at home to The Spartans was also affected by the weather, and the winner of the rearranged fixture on February 17th will face Falkirk, who defeated Stenhousemuir with extra time.
Elsewhere, Partick Thistle will travel to Paisley to face Premier Sports Cup winners St Mirren.
Key Events:
- St Mirren vs Partick Thistle

The quarter-finals will be played over the weekend of March 7th, with the running order subject to change due to television picks.
