Celtic have this evening discovered their Scottish Cup fourth round opponents.

The Hoops entered the competition for the first time tonight with the draw taking place in the aftermath of East Kilbride’s defeat to Falkirk in round three.

It was the final fixture of the round between Mick Kennedy and John McGlynn’s sides and was ultimately won by the Bairns who took it 3-1.

Brendan Rodgers and his squad were among the Scottish Premiership clubs lying in wait to learn their foes as the top flight sides join the competition for the first time.

And now they have had it confirmed that they will square off with Kilmarnock in the Scottish Cup fourth round.

Adam Idah won last season’s pulsating finale at Hampden in the dying seconds after Paulo Bernardo had stung the palms of Rangers goalkeeper Jack Butland.
