When is the Premier Sports Cup quarter-final draw? How to watch the draw and fixture dates
Clubs set to find out who they will face in the last eight
The Premier Sports Cup round of 16 takes place this weekend as clubs look to book their place in the quarter-final draw.
Holders Celtic are the first name in the hat after a comfortable 4-1 win over Falkirk at Parkhead on Friday night with goals from Daizen Maeda, Alistair Johnston, Dane Murray and a Liam Henderson own goal before the Bairns netted a consolation through Keelan Adams.
Five matches take place on Saturday including the all-Premiership affair between St Mirren and Hearts in Paisley as Jambos boss Derek McInnes look to maintain his winning start as boss with three group stage victories followed by taking maximum points from their opening two league games.
Greenock Morton will hope to cause an upset when they welcome Scottish Cup holders Aberdeen to Cappielow while St Johnstone, relegated to the Championship at the end of last season, will fancy their chances at home to Motherwell after a strong start to life in the second tier.
Partick Thistle host Ayr United in all-Championship affair before the lowest ranked side left in the competition, League One Alloa Athletic, travel to Ibrox in the evening kick-off hoping to repeat the heroics of Queen’s Park last season, who knocked Rangers out of the Scottish Cup on their own patch.
The final two last 16 matches take place on Sunday with Hibs and Dundee United hoping to avoid a European hangover following their midweek Conference League third qualifying round matches when they travel to Livingston and Kilmarnock respectively.
All matches will be decided on the day meaning 30 minutes of extra-time and penalties will be played if required to determine which eight winners will progress to the quarter-finals of the competition.
