Elsewhere, Broxburn Athletic of the Lowland League - Scotland's fifth tier - will face Ayr United, plus St Mirren are away to Queen of the South, League Two leaders Elgin City welcome Aberdeen and Ross County host Livingston.

Former Scotland striker Steven Naismith, who conducted the draw, said: "In general the draw was a good mix of everything. Some of the smaller sides got good ties and I think there's nothing worse as a smaller team than getting a tie not as glamorous so the likes of Clydebank will be pleased.

"The Dundee derby is going to be a big one, everyone's already looking forward to that.

"Rangers against Fraserburgh jumps out as well. The board at Fraserburgh will be delighted with the financial side of it and the players will be happy too because it's playing against players they're used to watching on TV. It's a brilliant opportunity for them."

The ties will take place on the weekend of January 18-19.
