Holders Celtic will travel to Dundee in the quarter-finals of the league Cup, while Partick Thistle host Rangers.

Rangers boss Pedro Caixinha was reluctant to comment too much on the quarter-final draw after the 6-0 win over Dunfermline saying: "It's too far away from now. We have a month to get there, we need to fight to get to the semi-finals but that's all for the moment."

Dundee boss Neil McCann, whose side overcame city rivals United in the second round, said: "It's a great draw to have Celtic in the next round. They're the best team in the country but we have a chance."

Last season's beaten finalists Aberdeen will be away to Motherwell when the ties are played in September.

Livingston, who are the only Championship side in the last eight, will visit Hibernian.
