CELTIC continue their quest for a world record ninth domestic treble when they face Raith Rovers in the Scottish Cup last-16 encounter at Parkhead tonight.
Brendan Rodgers has already seen his team lift the Premier Sports League Cup following their dramatic penalty-kick shoot-out success over Philippe Clement’s Ibrox side at Hampden in December.
And the champions are on course for their fourth title in a row after their overwhelming 6-0 midweek victory over Dundee in Glasgow which powered them 13 points ahead with 13 games to play.
Now the Championship Fifers, with former Celt Barry Robson in charge, provide the opposition as the Hoops turn their attention to the national competition.
