Celtic to begin Betfred Cup defence with draw date confirmed | OneFootball

CELTIC will find out their Betfred Cup opponents when the Last 16 of the League Cup is drawn on Sunday – following Hibernian v Dundee, live on Premier Sports. The holders, who beat Rangers 1-0 in the final last December will join Rangers, Motherwell and Aberdeen in the hat along with teams that have come through the next round of the tournament.

Celtic are looking to win their fifth League Cup in a row and sixth in seven seasons with an incredible run running back to Ronny Deila’s first season in the competition. The one blip on this record is a semi-final defeat to Jim McIntyre’s Ross County, who went onto win the trophy.

The games will be played on the weekend of 28/29th of November.

Celtic were winners in December in what would be known as the Fraser Forster cup final. The Englishman was in inspired form, making a number of stops as well as saving a penalty as a single Christopher Jullien goal won the game for Neil Lennon’s side and made it ten trophies in a row for Celtic.
