Hibs will face Ayr United in the last 16 of the Betfred League Cup.
Neil Lennon’s men qualified after winning Group D with ten points from four games.
Comfortable victories over Montrose, Arbroath and Alloa Athletic plus a point away to Ross County was enough to guarantee top spot although not sufficient to be one of the our seeded teams.
The draw was made earlier this afternoon following the Dundee derby.
The full draw is as follows :
St Johnstone v Partick Thistle
Hibs v Ayr United
Rangers v Dunfermline
Ross County v Motherwell
Falkirk v Livingston
Hamilton v Aberdeen
Celtic v Kilmarnock
Dundee v Dundee United
Games to be played August 8th and 9th
