    Two changes for Queen's Park from the side that lost 2-1 to the Championship's bottom side Airdrieonians last weekend.

    January signing Kyle Hurst, on loan from Doncaster Rovers, comes straight into the side to replace Seb Drozd.

    Adam Montgomery, who joined recently on loan from Celtic, takes up a place on the bench.

    Rangers v Queen's Park (15:30)

    Queen's Park manager Callum Davidson tells BBC Scotland: "For a club like Queen's Park to draw Rangers, it's a huge achievement for us. We won a couple of really hard ties to get here.

    "It's going to be a really tough game, we know that, but we'll give it a go.

    "In cup games you always have to have a good balance between attacking and defending. It's about trying to make the game as difficult as possible and frustrate them. We're going to give it everything we've got.

    "You've got to always try and stay positive. We've spoken long and hard this week about what we should do. Whether we can carry it out or not is a different story."

  3. Clement happy to give Fernandes and Rice opportunitypublished at 14:58 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February

    Rangers v Queen's Park (15:30)

    Rangers manager Philippe Clement tells BBC Scotland: "It was the beginning of November when we last had a week [with no game]. We used it well, we have several players coming back from injury.

    "I want [Fernandes] to get used to the Scottish game, it's different to Portugal and France. He's physical, and fast, and has technical qualities to build from the back. I wanted to couple him with an experienced player.

    "I don't know any 18-year-olds who've been at Rangers playing every week. It's really fast. The evolution of Bailey is very positive. He's on the right track and I'm very sure he's going to become an important Rangers player."

    Queen's Park haven't been to Ibrox in the Scottish Cup since 1974.

    Rangers scored eight that day.

    FT: Aberdeen 3-0 Dunfernline

    That was exactly what Aberdeen needed, and the timing of Pape Gueye’s opener always looked like it would be crucial in the outcome of the tie.

    The Senegalese striker’s notched his first goal since September, Alexander Jensen’s looking a brilliant addition and Kevin Nisbet eventually accepted the chance of a confidence boost. Those are three positives for Jimmy Thelin.

    But a massive plus for me was Sivert Heltne Nilsen. Played for 68 minutes and was so influential in defensive and attacking play. His absence was noticeable in the final 20 minutes.

    FT: Aberdeen 3-0 Dunfermline Athletic

    Reaction to come from Pittodrie as Aberdeen seal their place in the final eight. Just two spots remain, and we're about to find out the seventh name in the hat.

    Will it be Rangers or Queen's Park? Let's have a quick look at the teams...

  9. FULL-TIME Aberdeen 3-0 Dunfermline Athleticpublished at 14:28 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February

    Aberdeen secure passage to the quarter-finals with a relatively simple victory over Championship side Dunfermline.

    Papa Gueye's goal on the brink of half-time eventually settled the nerves, and Alexander Jensen's goal a few minutes into the second-half almost killed the tie off.

    Dunfermline saw a glimmer of light when they were awarded a penalty, but VAR ruled it out as the foul was outside the box and Kevin Nisbet then killed off any hope when he tapped in a third.

  10. YELLOW CARD - Kristers Tobers (Aberdeen)published at 90+3 mins

    Aberdeen 3-0 Dunfermline Athletic

    A late booking for Kristers Tobers as he fouls Ephraim Yeboah right on the edge of the box.

    That was inches away from being a penalty. Really clumsy from the Latvian.

    Willie Miller
    Former Aberdeen captain on BBC Sportsound

    Yes, Dunfermline got an opportunity in the Cup to do something special, but they really have to focus on the league campaign and get themselves out of the possibility of dropping down.

    They look as if they have players who can cause oppositions problems and they defended well in the first half too so it's not been a disappointing performance. Aberdeen have just been better.

    Fletcher Boyd is on for Papa Gueye. The youngster turned 17 just a few weeks ago and is already very highly thought of.

    Can he add to his two goals for the first team this afternoon?

    He needed that.

    His teammates were all round him congratulating him too so it was a brilliant sight to see.

    Kevin Nisbet

    Well there's the most relieved man in Pittodrie!

    Shayden Morris gets to the byeline and cuts back for Nisbet, who made a clever run in the box, and tapped in.

    He's grinning rather sheepishly.

    There's a stoppage in play as Kristers Tobers goes down, holding his Achilles. That does not look good for the Latvia captain... but after some treatment, he appears to be alright.

    Relief for Aberdeen and relief for Dorrington who misjudged the ball over his head in the first place.

    That was a tight, tight call. Wasn't it?

  17. No penalty!published at 77 mins

    VAR confirms the contact is outside the box and it will just be a free-kick.

    A real let-off for Aberdeen and Alfie Dorrington.

    Ephraim Yeboah steals in after Alfie Dorrington makes a mess of it.

    He's right on the edge of the box and Jack MacKenzie fouls him! Steven MacLean points to the spot.

    You really feel for the Nisbet. He cannot believe that he's missed that goal!

    That would've given him a fait bit of confidence but that'll do the opposite.

    Oh, deary, deary me.

    Papa Gueye steals the ball on the halfway line, bursts into the box and cuts it to Kevin Nisbet. The former Scotland striker inexplicably takes a touch, then tries to lift it over the scrambling keeper - and hits the post.

    He looks skyward. How, oh how, did he miss that?
