The semi-final draw for the Premier Sports Cup has been made.
Celtic will face Aberdeen and Rangers will take on Motherwell in the last four of the competition.
The games will be played at Hampden Park in Glasgow. They are scheduled for the first weekend of November, over Saturday 2nd and 3rd. Exact details over kick-off times will be released in due course.
Motherwell were the first time to secure their place in the hat, as a late Lennon Miller penalty saw off the challenge of Dundee United on Friday evening.
They were joined on Saturday night by both Aberdeen and Rangers. Respectively, they defeated The Spartans and Dundee with ease.
Celtic had a far tougher test in the shape of Championship Falkirk than they did on Wednesday night against Slovan Bratislava in the Champions League.
The Bairns gave a great account of themselves, taking the lead in Glasgow's east end TWICE before half time.
However, Brendan Rodgers made multiple changes to his starting XI as he brought on his big hitters, including Greg Taylor and Nicolas Kuhn, to secure the Hoops' spot in the last four.
Former Livingston and Hibernian player Marvin Bartley conducted the draw.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
