Celtic handed Kilmarnock rematch

Celtic will face a third successive away tie in this season’s Active Nation Scottish Cup after being handed a quarter-final draw at Kilmarnock.

The Hoops, who beat Morton and Dunfermline in the previous two rounds, will return to Rugby Park, where they lost for the first time in nine years when they went down 1-0 in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League last week.

That game marked Robbie Keane’s Celtic debut and he will hope to avenge that defeat when the sides meet on the weekend of March 13.

Holders Rangers will host Dundee United if they win their fifth-round replay against St Mirren next Wednesday.

First-time quarter-finalists Ross County were handed a trip to Hibernian, while Irn-Bru First Division leaders Dundee will play the winners of Aberdeen’s replay against Raith.

Draw for Active Nation Scottish Cup quarter-finals (ties to be played on weekend of March 13):

Dundee v Raith or Aberdeen

Hibernian v Ross County

Kilmarnock v Celtic

St Mirren or Rangers v Dundee United
