Premiership sides enter the hat after the weekend of Scottish Cup Third Round action gripped the lower leagues. The games in late jabuary tend to be cold affairs so an intriguing tie would certainly make for good viewing. An away trip to Ibrox and the return of the full away end, as per Scottish Cup rules? Although, there’s the likelihood that we will have a number of players missing due to the Asia Cup.
Celtic completed the Treble in June after Ange Postecoglou’s team beat Inverness CT to lift the trophy in the showpiece final at Hampden. Now, Brendan will be looking to continue his unbeaten run in the tournament.
Rodgers’ first season saw one of the tournament’s most iconic moments with Tom Rogic scoring in injury time to deliver an Invincible Treble to the Celts.
