Dougie Samuel’s League Two outfit stunned Ross County in the previous round at Ainslie Park, but are extreme underdogs to do the same against Jimmy Thelin’s Dons, who are in a rich vein of form after winning all ten of their competitive matches so far this season.

The first of the last-eight ties were completed on Friday night when Motherwell overcame Dundee United 2-1 at Fir Park, with Rangers taking on Dundee and Celtic facing Falkirk in the other matches.
