Holders Celtic will host Raith Rovers, who appointed former Parkhead star Barry Robson as their new manager last month, while Rangers entertain Callum Davidson's Queen's Park at Ibrox.

It is the third time in four years that Raith have been handed a trip to Celtic Park on cup duty with a 3-0 defeat in the League Cup quarter-final in 2021 followed by a 4-0 reverse at the last 16 stage of the Scottish Cup in 2022.

Ayr United boss Scott Brown will welcome former club Hibs to Somerset Park in what promises to be a tricky tie for David Gray's men while the only all-Premiership affair will see St Mirren host Hearts.
