League Cup draw: Celtic face Rangers, Motherwell face St Mirren in Premier Sports Cup semi-finals

Celtic have been drawn against Rangers in the Premier Sports Cup semi-finals, with Motherwell facing St Mirren in the final four.

The Glasgow giants clash at Hampden as Celtic look to make a successful defence of the trophy, while Russell Martin aims to step toward a first trophy at Rangers.

St Mirren were the first side to book their place in the final four, defeating Kilmarnock in a penalty shoot-out on Friday night to progress.

Motherwell joined them in the hat after Regan Charles Cook scored the only goal of the game at Pittodrie to see off Aberdeen.

Rangers went into their quarter-final against Hibs under pressure after a winless start to the league season. But goals from Nico Raskin and Bojan Miovski lifted the mood and guaranteed a trip to Hampden.

Celtic travelled to Firhill to take on Partick Thistle in the last of the weekend’s cup games, and the holders cruised to victory. Yang, Sebastian Tounekti, Liam Scales and Luke McCowan were all on target in a 4-0 win.

Ties will be played on the weekend of November 1/2, with the SPFL to announce ticket prices and kick-off times in due course.
