Motherwell v Aberdeen snubbed for Scottish Cup last 16 live TV schedule

The Scottish Cup last 16 ties picked for live TV coverage have beenn announced - and Motherwell v Aberdeen isn't one of them.

The all-Premiership clash at Fir Park will see Graham Alexander's Steelmen battle it out with Stephen Glass' Dons for a place in the quarter-finals, but both of the competition's broadcast partners have snubbed the fixture for live coverage.

Premier Sports have chosen to show Annan Athletic v Rangers on February 12 and Celtic's home clash with Raith Rovers on February 13, while the BBC's two picks are Arbroath v Hibernian on February 13 and Peterhead v Dundee on February 14.

It means Motherwell v Aberdeen will kick-off at the traditional time of 3pm on Saturday, February 12.

The Steelmen have enjoyed their meetings with the Dons so far this season, winning 2-0 at Fir Park in September and by the same scoreline at Pittodrie in November.

Dutchman Kevin van Veen scored three of the four goals as he ran riot in both fixtures.

During last week's fourth round fixtures, Motherwell needed a last-gasp extra-time winner to see off Championship side Morton, while Aberdeen eased past League Two Edinburgh City.

The full details of the live fifth round clashes are as follows:

Annan Athletic v. Rangers | Saturday, 12 February 2022 ; Kick-off 5.30pm (Live on Premier Sports)

Arbroath v. Hibernian | Sunday, 13 February 2022 ; Kick-off 12.30pm (Live on BBC One)

Celtic v. Raith Rovers | Sunday, 13 February 2022 ; Kick-off 4pm (Live on Premier Sports)

Peterhead v. Dundee | Monday, 14 February 2022 ; Kick-off 7.45pm (Live on BBC Scotland)

In the other fifth round ties Hearts host Livingston, Partick Thistle welcome Dundee Utd and St Mirren take on Kelty Hearts.
