Dundee United have announced they don't expect to have clarity in their Scottish Cup quarter-final before Friday.
Tam Courts' side face Celtic in the last eight of the competition but the drawn has created a fixture headache for the SFA.
Rangers have also been drawn for an away tie in the City of Discovery, with the Ibrox club due to face Dundee at Dens Park.
Further complicating matters is the fact both teams are still in European competition, and if both progress they'd be due to play on the Thursday before and after the quarter-final weekend.
Monday saw the dates and times for the other fixtures announced, but things are still being worked out for the two games that will be shown live on Premier Sports.
And United have revealed that a decision is not expected before the end of the week, though Saturday night has been ruled out by police.
A statement from the club announced: "We have been informed by the Scottish FA that it will likely be Friday before we know the date and time of the Scottish Cup quarter final versus Celtic.
"Discussions are ongoing between Scottish FA and broadcasters and further to this, the parties are also awaiting the outcome of European ties this week as potential future Euro fixtures will also shape the decision making process.
"At this point, we believe that the fixture will either take place Sunday afternoon or Monday evening. Saturday evening has been ruled as an option on the advice of police.
"We know fans are keen to have this information and appreciate and thank you for your patience while the parties involved make their decision.
