Holders St Mirren have been drawn to play away at Rangers in the last 16 of the Premier Sports Cup. Celtic were paired with Dundee United and will travel for their tie.

The draw for the competition's last 16 produced a series of ties that will determine who advances from this stage of the Premier Sports Cup. As the reigning champions, St Mirren face the prospect of an away match against Rangers, while Celtic's next round will see them visit Dundee United. The pairings complete part of the knockout-phase schedule for the tournament.

St Mirren, entering the ties as holders, will travel to Ibrox for their last-16 fixture against Rangers. The draw confirms an away assignment for the Paisley club rather than a home defence of the title. That meeting pits the current champions against one of the country's most prominent sides at their own ground.

Celtic's reward from the draw is a trip to Dundee United for their last-16 match in the Premier Sports Cup. The tie sends Celtic to Tannadice Park rather than hosting the fixture. This pairing ensures both Old Firm clubs have away fixtures at this stage of the competition.

The results of these matches will determine which clubs move beyond the last 16 in the Premier Sports Cup. Each of the ties named will be decided on the day they are played under the tournament's knockout format. With St Mirren, Rangers, Celtic and Dundee United all involved, the draw has set up fixtures that will complete this round of the competition.

These matchups finalize part of the last-16 schedule in the Premier Sports Cup and establish the immediate path for the four clubs named. Further details on dates and kick-off times will be confirmed by the organisers ahead of the fixtures.
