The draw for the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup was made last night, pairing Aberdeen with Celtic and Rangers against Hearts.
It was a weekend full of drama in the competition, with the quarter-final stage concluding last night at Cappielow as Steven Naismith's side scored late to knock out Morton.
The last four draw was made swiftly after the conclusion of that game.
And reacting to the fixtures this morning, both Ally McCoist and Alan Brazil couldn't resist a wind-up with each other over their respective affection for Rangers and Celtic.

The former reckons that the Scottish Cup final will throw up a similar showpiece to the Viaplay Cup earlier this season, which saw Rangers face Aberdeen at Hampden.
Brazil, having none of it, insists the trophy is Celtic's, as he backed his team to retain the cup.
He does expect to play Rangers in the final though, because Philippe Clement's side are facing 'Rangers reserves' in their semi-final.
Reporter Adrian Durham started the conversation, saying: "The draw for the semis last night. It's Rangers or Hearts to play Aberdeen in that final. So congratulations to the Dons."
Brazil then highlighted: "Oh you mean that team that has no manager now that Neil [Warnock] has left and in total disarray? Don't you worry about it. Green and white ribbons on the Cup again."
McCoist then cheekily remarked: "I think you are right Aid. I think you are looking at a similar cup final to the League Cup Final."

Brazil, with a brutal putdown of the Jambos, responded: "Well Rangers are going to get there. You've got Rangers reserves haven't you? So you are going to get there that is for sure."
McCoist: "Oh dear me, he is worried Aid."
Brazil concluded: "Get the plane ready. Get the plane ready."
