Rangers, Celtic, Kilmarnock and Aberdeen find out Premier Sports Cup quarter-final opponents

Kilmarnock have been drawn at home to Dundee United in the quarter-finals of the Premier Sports Cup.

The Rugby Park side reached the last eight tonight courtesy of a 1-0 win over Hearts at Tynecastle with Innes Cameron bagging the winner.

Manager Derek McInnes spoke in the build up to the tie of his desire to bring cup success back to the club.

And this evening's triumph will have Killie fans dreaming of a return to Hampden where they won the League Cup back in 2012 when Dieter Van Tornhout netted in a shock 1-0 victory over Celtic.

Managerless United – who axed Jack Ross following their humiliating 9-0 demolition at the hands of Celtic on Sunday – qualified for the quarter-finals after beating Livingston 2-1 tonight.

Elsewhere in the draw, holders Celtic – who beat Ross County tonight – will travel to Motherwell after the Steelmen thrashed Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

Rangers are at home to Championship side Dundee after those sides saw off Queen of the South and Falkirk, respectively.

The final tie will see Jim Goodwin's much-revamped Aberdeen host Partick Thistle, who are the only other on non top-flight side in the draw.
