Celtic progress into the fifth round of the Scottish Cup after an unconvincing win over Auchinleck Talbot at Rugby Park.

Celtic have drawn in the next round of the Scottish Cup.
Ties are due to be played on the 7th of February depending on whether or not TV companies reschedule the game for live coverage.
With a league and Scottish Cup double on the line for the current Scottish champions, Martin O’Neill knows that his side will need to perform far better to get past Dundee than they did against Auchinleck Talbot in Kilmarnock tonight.
Celtic’s record vs Dundee in the Scottish Cup since 2000
Celtic don’t have a long history of facing Dundee in the Scottish Cup since the year 200o.
With only two fixtures played, Celtic have won both:
10/01/2009: Celtic 2 v 1 Dundee07/02/2015: Dundee 0 v 2 Celtic
With game at Celtic Park, at least the Hoops have home advantage as they look to progress into the quarter-final draw next month.
