Holders Rangers have been drawn against Celtic in the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup.

League One Falkirk will face Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the other semi-final.

Former Scotland captain Colin Hendry joined Jane Lewis to draw the tie after Falkirk defeated Ayr United 2-1 in Monday night's match.

The ties will be played on Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 April.

Speaking after the draw, Hendry said: "You would expect Rangers and Celtic to be there or thereabouts so whether they met in the semi-finals or the final, it was always going to be a big occasion.

"I was impressed with Falkirk tonight. They've faced a team from a higher league and won and now they've got the opportunity to do it again. But for both teams, the incentive of getting to a cup final now must be enormous."

The former Scotland captain got his hands on the famous trophy in 1999 as Rangers defeated Celtic 1-0 at Hampden Park. Reflecting on his memories of that triumph, he added: 

"In terms of the game, the fact Celtic didn't score was the most important part for me and I remember little Rod scoring.

"If ever there's a performance you want to be involved in as a defender then it's keeping a clean sheet and winning the game.

"After the game I was very quickly shipped off to Belgium for an operation that was badly needed on my groin so I didn't get a lot of time to celebrate but it was great for us because we completed the treble and that was the biggest thing in my time at Rangers.
