It’s the Scottish Cup quarter-finals:
Falkirk 2 – 1 Dundee United (yesterday)
Dunfermline Athletic vs Aberdeen
Rangers vs Celtic (tomorrow)
St Mirren vs Partick Thistle (tomorrow)

Celtic have won the Scottish Cup 42 times, Rangers 34, Aberdeen 8, St Mirren 3, Dundee United 2, Falkirk 2, Dunfermline 2, and Partick Thistle once.

Meanwhile in the Championship it’s Morton vs St Johnstone. St Johnstone are first in the division with 54 points. Morton are seventh with 30. This is Morton’s last chance to get a win off the Saints, unless, improbably, they meet in the playoffs.

Morton are three quarters of the way through this season, on track to finish with 40 points. In 2023-24 Inverness CT were relegated with 42. Following Tuesday’s games St Johnstone are safe from relegation.

St Johnstone have four former Morton players on their roster: Reghan Tumilty (Morton 2018-20), Jack Baird (2019-20 and 2022-25), Josh McPake (2020-21) and Morgan Boyes (2024-25).

Morton’s most recent goal against St Johnstone was scored by Eamonn Brophy August 30th.

As usual in the last quarter of the season, everyone is injured.
