Get ready for an epic showdown as the Scottish Cup quarter-final draw unfolds! A true David vs. Goliath moment awaits!
Rangers and Celtic, two iconic Scottish clubs, are set to face off in a thrilling quarter-final clash. But here's where it gets controversial... they've already battled it out just a week prior in the league!
Danny Rohl's Rangers, fresh from a 3-1 away victory over Celtic earlier this year, will host their rivals at Ibrox on March 7th. This encounter promises to be a nail-biter, especially with the league title race heating up.
Martin O'Neill's Celtic fought hard to beat Dundee 2-1 after extra time, while Rangers secured their spot with an impressive 8-0 thrashing of Queen's Park, avenging last year's cup loss.
And this is the part most people miss... Cup holders Aberdeen will face a tough away game against Dunfermline, but first, they must overcome the high-flying Motherwell.
Dundee United's match against The Spartans was postponed due to weather, and the winner will face Falkirk away. Meanwhile, Partick Thistle travels to Paisley to challenge Premier Sports Cup winners, St Mirren.
Here's the full draw for the Scottish Cup quarter-finals:
- St Mirren v Partick Thistle
- Falkirk v Dundee United/The Spartans
- Rangers v Celtic
- Dunfermline v Aberdeen/Motherwell
Matches will be played over the weekend of March 7th.
The draw has certainly thrown up some intriguing fixtures! Who do you think will progress to the semi-finals? Will Rangers continue their winning streak against Celtic? And can Aberdeen defend their title?
