Dundee were drawn against Hibs in the last 16 of the Betfred Cup less than an hour after being beaten 4-1 by Jack Ross’ side at Easter Road in the group stage.
James McPake’s Dark Blues will face the Hibees in the capital on November 28 or 29 for a place in the quarter finals.
Ross said: “It’s a bit bizarre to get the team we’ve just beaten but it is what it is.”
The eight group winners were joined in the draw by Scotland’s four European representatives – Celtic, Rangers, Motherwell and Aberdeen – and the four best runners-up.
St Johnstone travel to Fir Park to take on Well while Arbroath host Dunfermline.
Holders Celts are scheduled to face Ross County in Glasgow and Steven Gerrard’s Premiership leaders Rangers have been handed an away tie against Falkirk.
