Celtic and Rangers matches selected for live coverage in Premier Sports Cup round of 16

Celtic and Rangers’ Premier Sports Cup knockout ties have been selected for live televised coverage.

The defending champions will travel to Ross County on Wednesday, August 31 – 24 hours after the Ibrox side take on Queen of the South in Glasgow.

Both matches will be shown live on Premier Sports after the broadcaster confirmed its selections.

None of the other ties have been chosen for television.

Ange Postecoglu’s side lifted the trophy last year following a 2-1 win over Hibernian at Hampden in December.

This season, the final is scheduled for February due to the World Cup at the end of the year.
