Scottish Cup fixture 'leak' as Celtic and Rangers ties revealed early by TV company

Premier Sports have tipped their hat by revealing the two Scottish Cup fifth round ties they will be airing before the official fixture announcement.

Subscribers to the broadcaster's newsletter received a surprise in their inbox with the dates and times for their TV picks included.

Premier will air Hamilton's clash with Rangers on Saturday, February 8 with a kick-off time of 12:30pm at New Douglas Park.

And their cameras will be in attendance as Clyde eye another Scottish Cup shock against Celtic on Sunday, February 9 with the game getting under way at 2.00pm.

The broadcaster and BBC agreed a £20m six-year deal to show Scottish Cup ties up until the end of the 2023/24 season.

BBC's fixture choices have yet to be announced with Aberdeen's clash with Kilmarnock and upstarts BSC Glasgow against either Dundee United or Hibs looking likely options.

Holders Celtic are aiming for a fourth consecutive Scottish Cup triumph while Rangers are aiming to lift the trophy for the first time since 2009.

Scottish Cup fifth round fixtures in full:

Aberdeen v Kilmarnock

Arbroath or Falkirk v Heart of Midlothian

Ayr United v St Johnstone

BSC Glasgow v Dundee United or Hibernian

Clyde v Celtic

Hamilton Academical v Rangers

Inverness Caledonian Thistle v Livingston
