Celtic and the Gers will travel to Hampden Park on 2 November to book their places in the final of the Premier Sports Cup.
The Light Blues have endured a difficult season so far, and while a win over the Old Firm rivals won’t paper over the cracks, it will undoubtedly give fans at Ibrox something to cheer for.

Russell Martin sack could happen before Celtic game
The Ibrox faithful saw their ticket allocations at Hampden Park reduced by 500 seats after the use of pyrotechnics last season in the competition, with Celtic also receiving the same punishment.
It remains to be seen whether Martin will make it until the semi-final of the competition, with some tough fixtures in the coming month arguably representing a make-or-break for the Scottish manager.
If the former Southampton boss slips up a bit before the Old Firm derby, there may be a change in the dugout in G51 before the trip to Hampden.
Martin may not be able to save his job at Rangers even if he wins the Premier Sports Cup, but what he can do is try to turn things around to save his managerial reputation at Ibrox.
