Defending Scottish League Cup champions, Celtic, will take on Kilmarnock in the last-16 of the competition on Sunday.
The hosts qualified for the knockouts after topping Group F. Derek McInnes's side will also take hope from beating Rangers 1-0 in this season's league opener, and last being involved in a goalless draw against Hearts.
Brendan Rodgers' men, on the other hand, are in a fine patch of form themselves this season, with 4-2 and 3-1 wins over Ross County and Aberdeen, respectively.
