The Premier Sports Cup quarter-final draw will take place after Rangers' last-16 tie with St Mirren at Ibrox concludes on Sunday. Celtic, Aberdeen, Kilmarnock and Ross County have already secured their places in the last eight.
Celtic cruise past Dundee United
Celtic, runners-up in last season's competition, thumped Dundee United 4-0 at Tannadice, with summer signing Camilo Duran among the goalscorers. Martin O'Neill hailed his side's firepower but warned they will need to 'straighten out' ahead of their Europa League clash with LASK. Dundee United hit the bar five times during the match.
Aberdeen and Kilmarnock progress
Aberdeen avenged last weekend's Premiership defeat to Dundee by winning 3-0 at Pittodrie, with captain Kevin Nisbet scoring twice and debutant Mitchy Ntelo adding a stunning goal. Kilmarnock, managed by Neil McCann, won an Ayrshire derby thriller 3-2 against Ayr United at Rugby Park, while Ross County secured their spot with an away win at Neil Lennon's Dunfermline.
Remaining spots and draw details
The remaining four places will be determined on Sunday, with Hearts, Inverness, Hibs, Partick Thistle, Stenhousemuir, Motherwell, Rangers and cup holders St Mirren all in action. Stenhousemuir are poised to pull off a shock by dumping out Motherwell in extra time, while Rangers led St Mirren 2-0 at Ibrox in the final tie. The draw for the last eight will take place once that match concludes.
