Martin O'Neill set for Celtic Park return for Scottish Cup tie

Martin O'Neill is set to return to Celtic Park this weekend as the Hoops kick off their defence of the Scottish Cup against Kilmarnock. 

The Bhoys host Derek McInnes' side on Saturday at 5.30pm, with the former Hoops boss returning to his old stomping ground as a pundit.

The game will be shown live on Premier Sports, and O'Neill will provide analysis in the studio alongside Alan Hutton. Emma Dodds is on hosting duties as Rory Hamilton and Michael Stewart take to the gantry for commentary. 

Brendan Rodgers' side will be hoping to bounce back against Killie after they salvaged a point in Dundee on Tuesday evening. 

The Bhoys looked all but beaten at Dens Park until Arne Engels' stoppage time equaliser sent them back to Glasgow with a point intact. 

Elsewhere in the Scottish Cup this weekend, Falkirk take on Raith Rovers on Sunday at midday. The Championship clash is also live on Premier Sports, with Marvin Bartley and Stewart on punditry duties.

The small matter of a Dundee derby then awaits on Monday night as Jim Goodwin takes his United team across the road for the second time in a few weeks. 

Ex-St. Johnstone boss and current Queen's Park gaffer Callum Davidson will be on punditry duties alongside Charlie Mulgrew and Hutton. 

The derby promises drama as the City of Discovery’s big two lock horns in the final game of the fourth-round.
