Written By:

The draw for the League Cup last 16 Round was completed following St Mirren’s 2-1 win over Ayr in Paisley.

Holders Celtic will welcome Premiership new boys Falkirk in a repeat of last season’s quarter-final. On that occasion, Brendan Rodgers’ side came from behind twice to seal a thrilling 5-2 victory.

Russell Martin’s first domestic cup match as Rangers boss will be at home to League 1 Alloa Athletic. The Wasps topped Group D impressively, securing a maximum 12 points from four wins, including a 3-2 away victory at Airdrie on Saturday afternoon.

The draw also features three all-Premiership affairs: St Mirren host Hearts, Hibernian visit Livingston, and Kilmarnock meet Dundee United.

A repeat of the Scottish Premiership semi-final playoff is scheduled as Scott Brown takes his Ayr United side to Firhill to face Partick Thistle. Thistle secured four wins out of four in the group stage, including a 3-1 victory over Ross County in Dingwall.

Recently relegated St Johnstone will host Motherwell, while Dougie Imrie’s Morton welcome current Scottish Cup holders Aberdeen to Cappielow.

All ties are due to take place across the weekend of August 16th – 17th.
