The Premier Sports Cup has reached the last 16 stage already, which means the quarter finals are edging closer.
Celtic were triumphant last term, and Ange Postecoglou's side will be looking to keep hold of the trophy for another season. The champions travel to Ross County on Wednesday as they look to secure their spot in the draw. Rangers will also have to navigate their way past Queen of the South at Ibrox. The Light Blues are the record holders of the cup, having secured the silverware a total of 27 times in their history. But it has been a long time since they last lifted it, missing out of the trophy since their Old Firm Final win at Hampden back in 2011.
Elsewhere, Hearts and Kilmarnock and Livingston and Dundee United meet in all-Premiership clashes. Robbie Neilson's side will be eyeing up the cup as they look to lift some domestic silverware this season. Incredibly, the Jambos haven't won Scotland's third major honour for 60 years, so the pressure is on.
