Rangers host Celtic in League Cup quarter-finals

Rangers have been drawn to host Celtic in the League Cup quarter-finals after eliminating Premier Sports Cup holders St Mirren. Derek McInnes secured his first win as Rangers manager with a 5‑1 victory over St Mirren on Sunday, setting up the Old Firm clash. The tie will be played during the week of 12‑13 September; McInnes originally expected to face Celtic at Celtic Park on 20 September, but the match will now be held across the city. Stenhousemuir, having knocked out Motherwell, will host Hearts, the previous season’s Scottish Premiership runners‑up. Aberdeen will travel to Kilmarnock for an all‑top‑flight encounter, while Ross County will welcome Hibernian to the Highlands. Kilmarnock reached the last eight after a five‑goal thriller against Ayr United. Aberdeen defeated Dundee 3‑0 at Pittodrie on Saturday; Ross County overcame Dunfermline 2‑1; Celtic recorded a 4‑0 win over Dundee United at Tannadice.
