Celtic and Rangers will play in front of the TV cameras as they aim to book a place in the Scottish Cup quarter-finals - with three other ties also set for live coverage.

The Hoops landed a last 16 clash with Raith Rovers at Parkhead after kicking off their defence of the trophy with a 2-1 win over Kilmarnock. And their home meeting with the men from Kirkcaldy - who stunned Falkirk in the previous round - will take place on Saturday, February 8 with a 5.30pm kick-off on Premier Sports.

Old Firm rivals Rangers also face Championship opposition as they host Queen's Park on Sunday, February 9 at 3.30pm on Premier Sports. Philippe Clement's side suffered heartbreak in last year's final when Adam Idah netted a dramatic late winner to clinch a Double for Celtic, and the Light Blues will be desperate for redemption in their last realistic shot at silverware this season.
