Dougie Imrie is pleased that Inverness Caledonian Thistle have avoided Celtic and Rangers in the draw for the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup.

Terry Butcher's side have been paired with Falkirk in the last eight and it is a fixture Imrie is already looking forward to.

He said: "It's a good draw for us and being at home is so important.

"We lost 1-0 at Falkirk in the League Cup when they scored a dubious goal which we thought was offside and we also had two stonewall penalty claims turned down in the game, so it would be nice to put that result right in the Scottish Cup.

"We wanted to avoid the big two in the draw and we have done that so we have to be happy."

Scottish Cup sixth round draw:

Motherwell or St Mirren v Celtic
Airdrie Utd or Dunfermline Athletic v Aberdeen or East Fife
Inverness CT v Falkirk
Forfar Athletic or Rangers v Hamilton Accies.

Ties to be played on the weekend of March 7.
