Scottish Cup holders Hibernian will begin the defence of their trophy at Tynecastle after Bonnyrigg Rose succeeded in moving their fourth round match.

Rose previously declared their intention to stage the game at the home of Hearts rather than their 2,200-capacity New Dundas Park and the Scottish Football Association has confirmed the fourth-round tie will be held there on January 21.

Hibs enjoyed a trip to Tynecastle last year during their successful campaign, coming from two goals down to earn a fifth-round replay against Hearts.

Celtic's game against Albion Rovers 24 hours later has been switched from Cliftonhill to Airdrie's Excelsior Stadium.
