CELTIC will discover their Scottish Cup Fifth Round opponents around 7.30pm tomorrow – if, of course, they do not collapse to an unthinkable defeat against Auchinleck Talbot at Rugby Park earlier in the day.
The Hoops’ tie is scheduled for a 5.30pm kick-off and the ballot will be made immediately afterwards, It will be broadcast live on TV while viewers also have the option to live stream the event via the Premier Sports Player.
One club already through are ex-Celtic gaffer Neil Lennon’s Dunfermline after their late-goal winner against another of the Irishman’s former clubs, Hibs, at East End Park this afternoon.
It looked to be heading for a scoreless stalemate until the Championship outfit stunned the fancied Easter Road outfit deep in stoppage-time when the unfortunate Miguel Chaiwa deflected the ball into his own net.
HAPPY DAZE…Neil Lennon applauds Dunfermline as they shock Hibs.
The Edinburgh club’s best chances fell to Celtic-linked striker Kieron Bowie, but he was denied on both occasions by Fifers’ keeper Deniz Mehmet.
Danny Rohl’s Ibrox side eased past Annan Athletic 5-0 in Govan last night while there are three all-Premiership ties to be settled over the weekend, featuring Livingston v St Mirren, Kilmarnock v Dundee and Hearts v Falkirk which kicks off at 8pm tonight.
