Dundee v Raith

Dundee have included new signing Bob Malcolm in their squad after receiving international clearance for the former Rangers and Motherwell defender from his previous club Brisbane Roar. Defender David Cowan and midfielder Paul McHale are the only absentees from manager Jocky Scott's squad because of injury.

Raith Rovers will be without full-back Craig Wilson, who broke his arm in the midweek win over Ross County. Defender Mark Campbell and captain Iain Davidson are also ruled out through injury. The versatile Dougie Hill is rated as having a 50/50 chance of playing by manager John McGlynn

Top scorers (all competitions): Leigh Griffiths (Dundee) 19; Gregory Tade (Raith) 6

Match odds: H 4-7 A 19-5 D 13-5

Referee: C Richmond (Scotland)

Hibernian v Ross County

Hibernian are hopeful Sol Bamba (shoulder) and Merouane Zemmama (hamstring) will shake off injuries in time. Alan Gow (hamstring) is definitely out, Kevin McCann is sidelined with a toe problem, but Lewis Stevenson should shake off an ankle knock and Colin Nish is available before serving the final instalment of his staggered three-match ban.

Ross County boss Derek Adams has a virtually full strength squad to choose from. Defender Steven Watt is the only injury absentee for the trip to Easter Road.

Top scorers (all competitions): Anthony Stokes (Hibernian) 17; Richard Brittain (Ross County) 10

Match odds: H 1-3 A 6-1 D 10-3

Kilmarnock v Celtic

Craig Bryson and Simon Ford are back in the Kilmarnock squad after recovering from hamstring and knee injuries respectively. Striker Kevin Kyle has failed to recover from a groin injury while Manuel Pascali is suspended. On-loan striker Chris Maguire is cup-tied.

Scott Brown is eligible after serving one match of a three-game ban in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League, while Marc-Antoine Fortune returns after recovering from a dead leg. Jos Hooiveld and Glenn Loovens have trained after recovering from hamstring injuries but Thomas Rogne (hamstring), Diomansy Kamara (hamstring), Niall McGinn (thigh) and Paddy McCourt (knee) are all out, while Shaun Maloney will join full training next week following his return from tendinitis.

Top scorers (all competitions): Kevin Kyle (Kilmarnock) 9; Robbie Keane & Morten Rasmussen (Celtic) 14

Match odds: H 6-1 A 4-11 D 3-1

Sunday, March 14

Rangers v Dundee Utd

Madjid Bougherra is expected to return from a hamstring injury. The defender has been sidelined for the last couple of games and, despite failing to finish training today, should be fit for Sunday's game. Kirk Broadfoot is struggling with a slight hamstring problem and is likely to sit out the quarter-final tie at Ibrox.

Dundee United will be missing captain Andy Webster under the terms of his loan agreement from Rangers. Webster will be replaced at the back by Darren Dods, left-back Paul Dixon is ruled out with an ankle injury so Sean Dillon will come in to deputise, while Spanish striker Francisco Sandaza will again play a role from the bench. Scott Robertson (groin), Lee Wilkie (knee) and Danny Cadamarteri (calf) are long-term absentees.

Top scorers (all competitions): Kris Boyd (Rangers) 22; Damian Casalinuovo & David Goodwillie (Dundee Utd) 9

Match odds: H 4-11 A 6-1 D 3-1
