Edinburgh rivals Hibernian and Hearts will meet in the Scottish Cup fourth round in a repeat of last year's final.

Scottish Cup holders Hearts have been matched against Edinburgh rivals Hibernian in today's fourth-round draw.

Hibs were on the receiving end of a 5-1 thrashing against their local adversaries in last season's final, but will have a chance to exact revenge at Easter Road.

Glasgow giants Celtic and Rangers were kept apart and will both be confident of progressing after being handed home ties.

Neil Lennon's side will host either Inverurie Loco or Arbroath while Rangers take on Elgin City at Ibrox.
