How to watch Aberdeen v Motherwell in the Scottish Cup
Aberdeen continue their defence of the Scottish Cup when they host Motherwell in a rearranged fifth round tie on Wednesday.
The last 16 clash was originally scheduled to take place on Saturday, February 7 but was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch at Pittodrie.
The teams will meet for the second time in four days after Motherwell claimed a 2-0 victory over the Dons at Fir Park in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday to extend their unbeaten run to seven matches.
The winners of the tie will progress to the quarter-finals where a trip to East End Park to face Championship side Dunfermline Athletic lies in wait.
Aberdeen lifted the Scottish Cup for the first time in 35 years in May, defeating Celtic in a penalty shoot-out at Hampden Park after a 1-1 draw over 120 minutes.
They have since parted company with manager Jimmy Thelin, who was sacked in January, with Peter Leven currently in caretaker charge amid reports that the former SK Brann and Saint-Etienne manager Eirik Horneland is being lined up to take over in the summer.
Motherwell are enjoying an excellent season in their maiden campaign under Danish head coach Jens Berthel Askou - flying high in fourth place in the league - and the Steelmen will have one eye on ending their own 35-year wait for Scottish Cup glory having last won the trophy in 1991.
