The Scottish Gas Women's Scottish Cup returns on Sunday, with eight Fourth Round ties taking place.
Four ties kick off at 1pm, including the intriguing clash between Glasgow City and Celtic. Glasgow City have won this competition on nine occasions, although they haven't got their hands on the Scottish Cup since 2019.
Sunday's match sees a repeat of the dramatic 2022 final, when Celtic defeated Glasgow City 3-2 at Tynecastle in extra-time to win the Scottish Cup for the first time.
The competition was revamped in the 2022/2023 season and Celtic became the first team to lift the new Scottish Cup trophy at Hampden as they defeated Rangers in front of over 10,000 fans to win the competition for the second time.
The two sides could not be more evenly matched on current form, with both sitting level on 47 points at the summit of SPWL1. Celtic edged out City 1-0 in their only league meeting this season and Sunday's match - which will be streamed live on the Scottish Cup Youtube Channel - looks like being just as close.
The lowest ranked side left in the competition, Elgin City are also in action at 1pm, as they travel south to Perth to face St Johnstone. The SWF North outfit, who entered the competition in Preliminary Round 2, have already seen off Dryburgh Athetic, Dunipace, Linlithgow Rose and Saint Anthony's to earn their tie against the Perth Saints, who sit just above the relegation zone in SWPL2.

One side who are flying high in SPWL2 are table-toppers Hamilton Academical, and they will be eyeing a second-successive scalp of SWPL1 opposition. After defeating Queen's Park away from home in the last round, Accies travel to Aberdeen this time around.
The fourth 1pm match sees SWPL2's second-placed side Kilmarnock travel to top flight Spartans in what also promises to be a tight match. Spartans defeated Glenrothes Strollers 3-0 in Round Three, while Killie saw off Stirling University 2-1.
Holders Rangers kick off at 2pm against fellow SWPL1 side Montrose. Rangers won the cup last season for the first time, beating Hearts in the final and they currently just two points off the top of SWPL as they enjoy another strong campaign. Montrose sit just above the relegation zone in the top flight but they did comfortably beat East Fife 3-0 in the last round.
SPWL1's bottom side Dundee United will also be looking for some respite in the Scottish Cup as the host SPWL2 side Boroughmuir Thistle, while Eva Olid's Hearts travel to face Championship side Falkirk in the day's other 2pm match.
The action rounds off in Motherwell as they host Bonnyrigg Rose at 4pm at K-Park. League One leaders Bonnyrigg have also enjoyed a lengthy cup run, seeing off Morton, Ross County and Armadale Thistle to get to this stage.
