Holders Celtic will face Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup semi-final, while Rangers have been drawn with Hearts.
The games will take place at Hampden Park on the weekend of April 20/21 ahead of the final which will be held at the national stadium on May 25.
Celtic booked their place in the last four with a hard-fought 4-2 win against Livingston, while Rangers kept their domestic treble hopes alive by beating Hibs 2-0 at Easter Road.
Aberdeen – who are now searching for a new manager – progressed with a 2-1 victory over Kilmarnock at Pittodrie, while Hearts defeated Greenock Morton on Monday night to reach the last four.
The draw raises the possibility of a first Old Firm game in the Scottish Cup final since 2002, when Rangers were 3-2 winners thanks to Peter Lovenkrands’ 90th-minute goal.

Rangers last won the competition two years ago under Giovanni van Bronckhorst, beating Hearts 2-0 at Hampden.
Hearts lifted the Scottish Cup in 2012 after defeating Hibernian 5-1, while Aberdeen have not tasted success in the competition since 1990 when they beat Celtic on penalties.
