Whilst the Old Firm do not treat cup games too seriously at this stage (especially in the League Cup), the attendance should still top 20,000. The money the tie generates will be extremely useful to Saints. The anticipated income could even allow Saints to sign an extra player before the transfer window shuts later this week.
Saints faced Celtic a few weeks ago, losing 2-0.
The full draw is:
Hibernian v Gretna
Queens Park v Motherwell
Inverness Caledonian Thistle v Falkirk
St Johnstone v Dundee United
Kilmarnock v Livingston
Dunfermline v Rangers
Celtic v St Mirren
Alloa Athletic v Hearts
