Celtic have been drawn against Hearts in the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup. The match will be played at Tynecastle on the weekend of March 11th.

The other ties making up the full draw are Inverness CT vs Kilmarnock, Rangers vs Raith Rovers and Darvel or Falkirk vs Ayr United.

Ange Postecoglou’s side have made their way through to this round after confident home victories over Greenock Morton and St Mirren. The Bhoys look good value for a deep run in the tournament as part of a potential treble push, but it will likely be a stern test in Edinburgh.

All four quarter-finals will be shown live on television across Viaplay Sports and the BBC.

Viaplay have the first options on the matches they want to show, which you’d think would include Celtic, going by previous rounds.

The exact time and date of the games will not be known until those broadcast selections are made.
