Scottish Cup fifth round TV selections confirmed

Four games for the fifth round of the Scottish Cup fifth round will be shown live on TV.

The Scottish FA have confirmed the ties that will be broadcasted live by BBC Scotland and Viaplay.

The ties for the next round of the competition will take place over the weekend of February 11/12.

However, it all kicks-off on the Friday night as Hamilton host Hearts. Their game will take place on Friday, February 10 with a 7.45pm kick-off. It will be showcased on BBC.

Celtic vs St Mirren will be next up on the TV schedule as Viaplay show the all-Premiership encounter on Saturday, February 11. It will begin at 5.30pm.

Just under 24-hours later, Rangers will take on Partick Thistle at Ibrox. This will kick-off at 4pm on Sunday, February 12. Again, Viaplay will cover this tie.

And finally, West of Scotland champions Darvel will continue their cup journey by hosting Falkirk on Monday, February 13. BBC Scotland will again broadcast from Recreation Park. 

Mick Kennedy's side stunned Aberdeen on Monday night earlier this week. Darvel ran out deserved 1-0 winners to secure passage to the fifth round of the tournament. 

The result has been regarded as the biggest shock in the competition's history.

It had been expected that the disastrous result would spell the end for Jim Goodwin at Aberdeen. 

However, in a statement released by Dave Cormack last night, the Dons chairman said that the manager would remain in place for their game against Hibs on Saturday.

Falkirk defeated Alloa Athletic 2-1 at the weekend to book their slot in this upcoming round of the Scottish Cup.
