Celtic and Rangers were paired together in the last four — after Aberdeen and Dundee United came out of the hat first — to set up the first meeting between the two teams since April 2012, which came months before the Ibrox club were consigned to liquidation.
The re-formed Rangers had so far avoided Celtic in cup competitions but both sets of players were apparently cheering when the draw unfolded just after 5pm on Saturday.
