Scottish League Cup holders Celtic have been drawn against Ross County in the last four of this season's competition.

Championship promotion hopefuls Hibernian play St Johnstone in the other semi-final with the ties due to take place on January 30 and 31 at venues yet to be decided.

Favourites Celtic defeated Ross County 4-1 in Dingwall on Sunday to maintain their six-point lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership.

But County will go into the semi-final believing they can upset the odds, having beaten Celtic 2-0 at the same stage of the Scottish Cup in 2010.
