Elsewhere, St Mirren, shooting for a cup double, will host Partick Thistle while Dundee United or Spartans will visit Falkirk.

The ties will be played on the weekend of Saturday 7 March.

Dundee United’s meeting on Tayside with Spartans was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch, with the tie taking place on Tuesday 17 February (19:45 GMT).

Motherwell’s trip to take on Aberdeen, who beat Celtic in last year’s final, is the following day (19:45).

Celtic needed extra-time to eventually get by Dundee on Saturday, while Partick Thistle beat Elgin City and Dunfermline overcame Kelty.

Earlier on Sunday, Rangers hammered Queen’s Park 8-0 to continue Danny Rohl’s impressive domestic run of results.
