Celtic and Rangers Premier Sports Cup quarter-final dates and kick-off times confirmed

The SPFL previously announced that the game between Kilmarnock and St Mirren will take place on Friday, September 19 with Aberdeen v Motherwell slated for 3pm Saturday, September 20.

However, the dates for the other last-eight games - Rangers v Hibs and Partick Thistle v Celtic - had been left up in the air, with the SPFL awaiting the outcomes of European qualifiers before being able to confirm the schedule.

With both Celtic and Rangers eliminated from the Champions League play-offs and dropping into the Europa League, there is no impact on the Premier Sports Cup scheduling.

Therefore, the match between Rangers and Hibs at Ibrox has been scheduled to take place on Saturday, September 20, kick-off 5.45pm, live on Premier Sports with Celtic set to travel to Firhill to face Championship side Partick - managed by their former Hoops player Mark Wilson - on Sunday, September 21, kick-off 3.30pm, also live on Premier Sports.

In the event of a draw after normal time, 30 minutes extra-time will be played with a penalty shoot-out to determine the outcome if necessary.

The four winners will progress to the semi-finals which take place on the weekend of November 1/2 at Hampden Park with the final scheduled for Sunday, December 14 at the national stadium.
