Celtic have been drawn to face Greenock Morton in their Scottish Cup quarter-final- but only after a technical problem meant the original draw had to be redone.

The original draw would have seen the Hoops make the trip to Dundee United for their last 8 clash.

But one of the balls holding another team name burst open in the pot - making the process void.

Watch the awkward live TV moment below:

 

Irish international Darren O'Dea saw the funny side of it:

Good draw.</p>&mdash; Darren O&#39;Dea (@odea_darren) <a href="https://twitter.com/odea_darren/status/696770148326367232">February 8, 2016</a></blockquote>

The redraw saw Celtic get a more favourable fixture at home to Greenock Morton.

The full draw is below:

 

Hearts/Hibernian v Inverness Caledonian Thistle

Celtic v Greenock Morton

Ross County v Dundee United

Rangers/Kilmarnock v Dundee/Dumbarton
