Premier Sports Cup TV fixtures revealed as Celtic land Saturday night slot and Ayrshire derby under the lights The SPFL have confirmed the dates and kick-off times for the last 16 of the League Cup The TV selections for the last 16 of the Premier Sports Cup have been made. And Celtic's trip to Tannadice to face Dundee United has been given the 5:45pm slot on Saturday August 15. The Hoops lost twice on the road to the Tangerines last term and will need to buck that trend if they are to progress to the quarter-finals. Last season's beaten finalists have some making up to do after St Mirren ended their defence of the trophy with a 3-1 win at Hampden. Rangers were handed a home draw against the current holders, and that will be played on Sunday, August 16 at 4pm. Derek McInnes will be out for revenge after his Hearts side were dumped out by the Buddies at the same stage last year on their way to lifting the trophy. An Ayrshire derby at Rugby Park is arguably the pick of the fixtures, while Aberdeen host Dundee. All eight matches will be shown live on the Premier Sports 1 linear channel or streamed on the Premier Sports Player.
