Draw
There were four ties taking place in the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup.[16] The draw took place on Monday, 8 February 2016 and was conducted by Scottish Cup winner and former Celtic midfielder Ľubomír Moravčík.[16] The draw, broadcast live on Sky Sports News, has become infamous since it had to be aborted due to one ball breaking open in the pot. After a delay, the draw was completed successfully at the second attempt.
All matches were played on the weekend of 5/6 March 2016.
Teams in italics were not known at the time of the draw. Teams in Bold advanced to the semi-finals.
