Celtic and Rangers chosen for Scottish Cup live broadcast but uncertainty lingers over quarter final dates

Premier Sports have announced Celtic and Rangers' Scottish Cup trips to Tayside will be broadcast live.

Ange Postecoglou's team have drawn Dundee United while the Ibrox side are off across the road to face Dundee in the quarter-finals.

All last eight fixtures have been pencilled in for the weekend beginning March 12, but it's Glasgow's big two who will get the TV treatment again.

Uncertainty lingers, however, over exactly when their matches will be played.

The quarter-final dates would follow days after the Europa League and Europa Conference League last 16 first legs, with both teams still involved in those competitions.

Should Rangers progress past Dortmund in the UEL and Celtic see off Bodo/Glimt in the UECL then the SFA would be required to re-jig the Scottish Cup schedule.

Usually, both teams could play on the Sunday following a Thursday night on the continent, but it's very unlikely authorities would allow both Celtic and Rangers to play in Dundee on the same day, on the same street.

It means one of these two ties could potentially be shifted to a Monday night.

Premier Sports have said the fixture dates will be "confirmed shortly".

A statement from the broadcaster said: "Premier Sports will bring you exclusive live coverage of two Scottish Cup Quarter-final ties next month, featuring two Glasgow sides meeting two Dundee sides!

"Giovanni van Bronckhorst's Rangers side face a trip to Dens Park to take on Dundee, with neither side yet to concede a goal in this year's competition.

"‌In-form Celtic also face a trip north-east, as they take on Dundee United at Tannadice for a place in the semi-finals.

"Details of both fixtures will be confirmed shortly."
