I think they will have Rangers vs St Johnstone as the TV game.
If The Rangers have to play on Tuesday (thanks to Celtic needing to play Wednesday), they'll find it tricky to slot into the schedule - can't go disrupting EastEnders.
It's a poor draw in TV terms, but Hibs v Dundee Utd (big Championship team v high-flying Premiership team) has more going for it than the other suggestions.
Was an embarrassing choice for TV last night. The Dundee derby was clearly the biggest tie of the round yet they show a match in a stadium only a quarter full because it's Celtic.

Thinking about it now I wonder if rangers v st Johnstone could be the TV game on the Tuesday but on bbc2 Scotland.
The apprentice will be back by then and that is nearly always 9pm on Wednesdays so bbc Scotland might not be allowed to move that.
Whatever TV game is chosen it will probably be bbc2

The only people interested in the Dundee derby were at the game. It's small potatoes compared to a Rangers or Celtic game.

Maybe but the Championship v the SPL contests are really interesting this year.
I was surprised how easily Celtic disposed of Hearts though.
Looks like Super Ally could be collecting his jacket from that shoogly peg - his full tenure has simply been to keep the fans onside and when that stopped working so will he ...

Call me cynical but I expect The Rangers to be given a home tie against Celtic or Aberdeen.
Anyone at Pittdrie but preferably Hibs or The Rangers would do me fine.
Even more bizarre the quarters draw is at Tannadice yet that wasn't the tv game
At least that would be through the eyes of Steven Thompson
Do you want an old firm tie or most celtic fans over that game now
I'd be happy with a home tie against Partick.
I'd be happy with a home tie against rangers:D
but the smile will be on my face going hame ! :
Edit
* Well done the pride of the shire "
Rangers at home to St Johnstone.
Celtic v Partick Thistle.
Hibs v Dundee Utd.
Aberdeen v Hamilton.
Think we need more predictions from you:D
Better hope there is worldwide tv coverage or a lot of their 500 million fans will be unhappy.
The TV game will probably be celtic v partick as celtic play the previous Sunday and st johnstone the following Friday.
Think last four celtic, rangers, Aberdeen, dundee united.
The old original big 4, no love lost between most of them:D
Well celtic and United get on ok
Obsessed much?? To be fair you do sound like a typical shagger of sheep - always thinking the grass is greener on the other side ...;-)
