It's been a long while since we had a meaningful match against our wee Lanarkshire rivals. Soccerbase reveals that we last met them in the Cup in 1933/34 when we had a 6-0 home win. More recently there was a League Cup clash in 1987,
Alex Ferguson assisted in the proceedings and managed to mention Hewitt's quick goal (10 seconds) against us when Aberdeen knocked us out of the cup at Fir Park in 1982.
The tie is scheduled for Saturday 30 November.
