Thursday 17 March 2016 10:29, UK
Celtic and Rangers will face each other in the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup, live on Sky Sports.
Gers advanced to the last four after they defeated Scottish Premiership side Dundee 4-0 on Saturday, while their Glasgow rivals also eased through with a 3-0 victory over Morton on Sunday.
The sides last met in February 2015, when goals from Leigh Griffiths and Kris Commons secured a 2-0 win for the Hoops in the semi-finals of the Scottish League Cup.
The other tie will see Hibernian - who beat holders Inverness 2-1 in their replay - take on Dundee United, who won 3-2 at Ross County on Saturday.
Billy McKay scored a late winner as United twice came from behind and finished the game with 10 men after Mark Durnan was sent off after 59 minutes.
Speaking before the draw was made, Celtic manager Ronny Deila insisted he did not care who his side faced in the semis.
"For me it's about winning the trophy, that's the important thing, and we'll take what comes in front of us," he said.
"We have to beat everybody to win the trophy and we're eager for that. Now we have two games left and hopefully we can win it."
