Last season's beaten Scottish Cup finalists Celtic have been drawn away to sixth-tier Auchinleck Talbot in the fourth round of this year's competition, while defending champions Aberdeen will start their defence at home against Championship side Raith Rovers.

Jimmy Thelin's side beat Celtic on penalties at Hampden in May to win the cup for the first time since 1990.
