Dundee and St Johnstone landed favourable home draws in the fifth round of the Scottish Cup.
Tony Docherty’s Dee, who saw off Dundee United 1-0 in a breathless derby on Monday evening, will host rock-bottom Championship outfit Airdrie.
St Johnstone were paired with John Rankin’s Hamilton at McDiarmid Park as a reward for a fine victory over Motherwell on Saturday, putting their Premiership struggles on the back-burner.
Meanwhile, Raith Rovers will face the onerous task of a trip to Celtic Park after being drawn against the cup holders and Scottish Premiership leaders.
Dunfermline Athletic, who defeated Stenhousemuir in Michael Tidser’s first match as Pars boss at the weekend, travel to Aberdeen in the last 16.
