Celtic have been drawn against Raith Rovers in the fifth round of the Scottish Cup.
Brendan Rodgers will be delighted at getting another home draw against a Championship side after having a tough tussle at the weekend against Kilmarnock.
The holders were first out of the hat this evening in the draw which took place at Dens Park after Dundee won the derby to knock Jim Goodwin’s Dundee United out of the competition.

Celtic v Raith Rovers of course is never to taken for granted, with very good reason. Meanwhile theRangers get Queens Park to follow on from Fraserburgh at the weekend. Ties will take place on the weekend of 7the February.
Former Celt Barry Robson is the Raith Rovers manager and he’ll relish the chance to take the Kirkcaldy side to Paradise. Raith Rovers knocked Championship high flyers Falkirk out in the fourth round and that draw against Celtic in the east end of Glasgow is a brilliant reward for Robson’s side.
