Celtic travel to Inverness Caledonian Thistle for their re-arranged Scottish Cup Quarter final.
The winners will face a semi-final with either Aberdeen or St Mirren at Hampden Park.
This fixture was originally scheduled for last Sunday but had to be postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
Due to the continuing bad weather in the north of Scotland Celtic will now fly to Inverness to avoid any problems on the road.
This fixture has happened three times before in the Scottish Cup. The most memorable being in February 2000 when Inverness stunned Celtic 3-1 at Parkhead leading to the sacking of then manager John Barnes and the famous newspaper headline “Super Caley go ballistic Celtic are atrocious”.
Inverness will be without Graeme Shinnie who was recently hospitalised with a stomach problem. David Proctor, Dani Sanchez and Kenny Gillet are also out but midfielders Johnny Hayes and Aaron Doran have been declared fit to play.
Celtic pair Mark Wilson and Scott Brown will miss the game due to their red cards in the previous round. Daniel Majstorovic will be out for two months after suffering a fractured toe.
