Defending champions Celtic will face Hearts in the quarter-finals of the Scottish League Cup next month.

The Hoops defeated Raith Rovers 2-0 in the last round but will face a tougher test at Tynecastle against a Hearts side that are third in the Scottish Premier League table.

Ronny Deila's side were held to a goalless draw by the Jambos at Celtic Park on Saturday, despite dominating possession and having 24 shots at goal.

Elsewhere in the draw, Inverness will host Ross County in a Highlands derby at the Tulloch Caledonian Stadium.

Thistle won 2-0 at Livingston in the last round, while Ross thrashed Scottish Championship promotion hopefuls Falkirk 7-0.
