Celtic have been drawn against Rangers in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup.

Reigning Scottish Cup champions Celtic overcame League One Falkirk 3-0 at Parkhead on Saturday with goals from James Forrest, Ryan Christie and Mohamed Elyounoussi.

Rangers hosted third-tier Cove Rangers in the third round on Sunday and eased to a 4-0 win to book a Celtic date.

Steven Gerrard will be hoping he can lead Rangers to their first successful Scottish Cup campaign since 2009, while interim boss John Kennedy has set his sights on retaining the trophy after Celtic missed out on the 2020/21 Premiership title to their Old Firm rivals.
