Hibs defeat to Kelty Hearts last weekend meant that David Gray’s men were not seeded in the last 16 round of the Premier Sports Cup.
And they were handed the toughest of tests with an away game against Celtic at Parkhead.
Hearts have also been drawn away from home and will face Falkirk at the Falkirk Stadium for the knockout round clash.
The Spartans have a home tie and will face Ross County.
The ties are due to be played on the weekend of August 17th.
Full fixture details will be confirmed in due course.
Premier Sports Cup draw; Celtic v Hibernian, Dundee United v St Mirren, Aberdeen v Queen’s Park, Falkirk v Heart of Midlothian, Dundee v Airdrieonians, Motherwell v Kilmarnock, Rangers v St Johnstone and The Spartans v Ross County
