Rangers achieved a famous result against Werder Bremen, but can they raise their game again soon enough for their Scottish Cup replay?

Sixth round

Aberdeen v Celtic

Jamie Smith is set to return after recovering from a hamstring problem he picked up in the January 26 defeat to Hearts. Darren Mackie, Richie Byrne, Jackie McNamara, Stuart Duff (all hamstring), Derek Young (knee), Steve Lovell (foot) and Barry Nicholson (suspended) all miss out.

Celtic midfielder Scott Brown is suspended after he picked up yellow cards in the previous two cup games against Stirling Albion and Kilmarnock. Defender Andreas Hinkel returns to the squad after being cup-tied for the Champions League defeat by Barcelona in midweek.

Fifth round replay

Rangers v Hibernian

Rangers will be without keeper Allan McGregor who is suspended for the fifth-round replay and will be replaced by Neil Alexander. Jean-Claude Darcheville is available after serving the last of a three-match European ban against Werder Bremen but remains a doubt with a hamstring strain.

Former Kilmarnock striker Colin Nish and Gretna defender Martin Canning are cup-tied for Hibs, so manager Mixu Paatelainen could bring back Abdessalam Benjelloun or opt to play Steven Fletcher up front on his own. Skipper Rob Jones should return after missing four of the last six games due to thigh and hamstring problems that have plagued him since before Christmas. Goalkeeper Yves Ma-Kalambay (groin) and Guillaume Beuzelin (knee) are both racing to be fit in time.
