CELTIC and Hibs are set up for a super Sunday in the Scottish Cup.
Details for the four quarter final ties taking place next month have been released – and confirmed – by the Scottish FA.

Celtic are reigning Cup holders – and have the most wins in tournament history[/caption]
And they quash rumours over a Saturday night kick-off for the holders.
Screenshots purporting to be the TV dates and start-times for each game circulated on social media last week.
But showed NO matches scheduled for Sunday and two on Saturday – with Celtic at the highly unusual weekend time of 7pm.
However in the official release from Hampden HQ the ties are staggered throughout the weekend – kicking off in the capital on Friday night with Hearts against Livingston.
Queen’s Park’s reward for their stunning upset against Rangers in the last round is a trip to Aberdeen – where the Spiders will again benefit from a share of the gate at Pittodrie and eye another upset.
There’s a more orthodox kick-off for Celtic and Hibs on Sunday, March 9 at 3pm, then Livingston and St Johnstone round off the games on Monday night.
Tghe games have been evenly spread with one a day – and equally shared between broadcasters.
Premier Sports have the rights to Hearts v Livingston and Celtic’s headline clash with Hibs, while BBC have taken Aberdeen and Livi’s home games.
One will be on terrestrial TV and another on the BBC Scotland digital channel.
Comedian Paul Black made the draw more than a week ago after Hearts edged into the last-eight with a penalty shoot-out win over St Mirren in Paisley.
