Highlights: Hibernian 2-2 Dundee United

Lowland League side BSC Glasgow have landed a home draw against the winners of the Hibernian and Dundee United replay in the Scottish Cup fifth round.

Clyde face Celtic for the first time since they humbled the Glasgow side with a shock 2-1 win in 2006.

There are three all-Premiership ties with Aberdeen at home to Kilmarnock, Rangers travelling to Hamilton Accies and St Mirren hosting Motherwell.

Ties are due to be played the weekend of Saturday 8 February.

After helping make the draw, former Celtic and Partick Thistle forward Simon Donnelly, said: "I think Rangers and Celtic will fancy their chances with that draw.

"They've got away ties, but the two will be expected to come through those games you would imagine."

BSC Glasgow, who play their home games at Alloa's Indodrill Stadium, will find out their opponents when Championship leaders United travel to top-flight Hibs on 28 January for their cup replay.

"It's a terrific draw for BSC Glasgow," Donnelly said. Whoever comes through the replay between Dundee United and Hibernian will be a huge test for them.

"It will be a great experience for them to go up against players of that calibre, so it's probably the tie of the round for me."

Former Rangers midfielder Alex Rae picked the away teams out the hat and thought BSC Glasgow, who are still in search of a permanent home in Glasgow, would be "delighted" with the chance of a money-spinning crowd.

"Particularly with it being a home tie and either of Dundee United or Hibernian likely to bring thousands," he said.

"Hamilton have caused a number of upsets over the years on their home turf, Clyde famously have too.

"I know that the top teams don't enjoy playing on artificial pitches, so it leaves a few potential upsets on the cards, but I would imagine the quality of the Premiership sides should shine through."

Last season's runners-up, Hearts, will travel to the winner of Arbroath and Falkirk, while 2014 winners St Johnstone face a trip to Ayr United.
