Rangers host Celtic in League Cup quarter-finals
Rangers will host Celtic in the Premier Sports Cup quarter-finals with Kilmarnock v Aberdeen the other all top-flight tie.
Rangers have rewarded their victory over St Mirren by facing Old Firm rivals Celtic in the League Cup quarter-finals. Derek McInnes secured his first win as Rangers manager with a convincing 5-1 win on Sunday and will now host Celtic. Meanwhile, Stenhousemuir, who defeated Motherwell in extra time, will host Scottish Premiership runners-up Hearts.
Aberdeen will travel to Kilmarnock, while Ross County will take on Hibernian in the other all-top flight tie. These matches are set to be played over the weekend of September 12-13. McInnes' first encounter with an Old Firm fixture as Rangers manager was originally scheduled for Sunday, September 20, but will now occur in Glasgow.
Kilmarnock made history as the first team to reach the last eight after defeating Ayr United in a five-goal thriller. Aberdeen triumphed over Dundee 3-0 at Pittodrie on Saturday, Ross County edged out Dunfermline 2-1, and Celtic dominated Dundee United 4-0 at Tannadice.
