Scottish Cup fourth round draw in full

Auchinleck Talbot have landed a dream home draw against Celtic in the Scottish Cup fourth round.

The Ayrshire side, who play in the sixth tier of Scottish football, have been handed the glamour tie as a reward for their stunning 4-0 victory at Dumbarton on Saturday.

The West of Scotland Premier Division outfit - who play at the 4000-capacity Beechwood Park - will host the Glasgow giants on the weekend of January 17 and 18.

The draw, which was conducted on Sportscene on BBC Scotland on Sunday night, also paired cup holders Aberdeen with lower league opposition.
