Celtic and Rangers kept apart in draw

by JP Lonergan , 15 March 2010

There is an Old Firm final in prospect in the Active Nation Scottish Cup after Celtic and Rangers were kept apart in the semi-final draw.


Celtic, 3-0 winners over Kilmarnock in the last eight thanks to a Robbie Keane hat-trick, have been drawn to take on either Hibernian or Ross County.

First Division Ross earned a noteworthy 2-2 draw at Easter Road on Saturday and will still have hopes of upsetting John Hughes' men on March 23 and reaching the last four for a meeting with Keane and Celtic.

Holders Rangers, meanwhile, have a replay with Dundee United to negotiate in their quarter-final, the winners of which will eventually take on the other First Division side left in the competition, Raith Rovers who beat Dundee on Saturday.

The Gers let a two-goal lead slip as they drew 3-3 on Sunday and must now travel to Tannadice on March 24 to try and set up a clash with Raith.

The semi-finals will be played on April 10 and 11.
