CELTIC will face Kilmarnock in an all-Premiership clash in the Scottish Cup fourth round after tonight’s draw.
In the final ballot of the evening after Falkirk’s 3-1 win over East Kilbride at the EK Stadium, Brendan Rodger’s trophy holders landed an intriguing home draw against Derek McInnes’ club.
The sides have met twice in the Premiership this season with the champions winning both encounters.
They romped to a 4-0 success over the Rugby Park outfit on Flag Day to kick off the league campaign in August with goals from Reo Hatate, Liam Scales, Nicolas Kuhn and Anthony Ralston.
They followed that up with a 2-0 triumph in Ayrshire last month with Callum McGregor and Kuhn on target.
The Hoops claimed the silverware on the iconic date of May 25 when Adam Idah hit the only goal of the game at Hampden against Phillipe Clement’s Ibrox outfit.
The ties are due on the weekend of January 18 and 19, 2025.
