The first major piece of silverware is up for grabs and 6 teams looking to join Hearts in the last-four of the competition.

Rangers continue their quest to get their hands on the first piece of silverware up for grabs in Scottish football this season when they face Livingston in their Viaplay Cup quarter-final showdown at Ibrox this evening.

Michael Beale’s side are strong favourites to win the trophy after holders Celtic crashed out of the competition after losing to Kilmarnock in the previous round. Victory over the stubborn West Lothian outfit would seal a trip back to the national stadium for the Light Blues and a place in the last-four for the third year in a row.
