The game will be played on either Saturday, February 6 or Sunday, February 7. It is likely to be the Saturday, but Sky have yet to pick their TV game and have a slot in their schedule for a Scottish Cup fifth round clash on the Sunday of that weekend. The choice is likely to be between our game and Celtic's trip to Dunfermline or Stenhousemuir - their opponents still unknown as the Pars are contesting a decision to throw them out of the cup for fielding an inelligible player.
As Sky went for the Rangers game in the last round, it's likely they'll go for the Celtic one - even if it's a no-contest game against Stenny. The official site is already offering hospitality for the game, listing the date as the Saturday, which suggests we won't get the much needed boost of some TV cash.
Rangers' progression means we'll face them twice inside a fortnight as we're due to meet them in the SPL on Wednesday, January 27.
