It's that time of the Scottish Cup when the big hitters enter the competition and dreams come true.

The fourth round draw sees all 12 Premiership teams take their place in the hat for the first time, joining the 20 clubs who have navigated their way to this stage of the tournament - giving sides who are normally out of the spotlight the chance to take on some of the country's biggest names.

Last year Premiership champions Celtic welcomed Highland League Buckie Thistle to Parkhead, whilst Rangers were on the road to face League Two Dumbarton. Whilst neither could produce a giant-killing for the ages, there were shocks - as Championship Airdrie dumped out previous winners St Johnstone and League Two Bonnyrigg Rose defeated runaway League One champions Falkirk, who face East Kilbride in the final tie of the third round tonight.

Celtic are the holders of the famous old trophy with Adam Idah the late hero as he pounced on a Jack Butland error at a packed out Hampden Park. Brendan Rodgers' men will enter as hot favourites to retain the trophy. But under-pressure Rangers manager Philippe Clement already has one Hampden trophy to his name, last season's League Cup, and knows he can't afford to slip up early in the tournament. Aberdeen will also be confident after an impressive season under Jimmy Thelin - and could cup specialists St Johnstone write more history, after their stunning double in 2021?
