Rangers are to host Celtic at noon on Sunday 13 September in the last of the Premier Sports Cup quarter finals.

The last eight of the competition kicks-off with Hearts visiting Stenhousemuir on Friday evening.

On Saturday, Ross County take on Hibernian in Dingwall and Kilmarnock meet Aberdeen at Rugby Park.

Celtic beat Rangers on penalties at the semi-final stage last season before losing in the final to St Mirren.

The Old Firm rivals also met in the Scottish Cup last term, with Celtic again prevailing in a shoot-out after a 0-0 draw at Ibrox.

NEW YORK — Rising women’s star Alex Eala and Felix Auger-Aliassime, spouses Elina Svitolina and Gael Monfils, and two-time defending champions Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori have been given wild cards into the US Open mixed doubles tournament.

The U.S. Tennis Association on Monday set 11 of the 16 teams that will be in the championship, with six teams qualifying directly because of their combined rankings and five being given wild cards.

Topping the field is the team of No. 1-ranked Aryna Sabalenka and 24-time men’s Grand Slam singles champion Novak Djokovic, who have the lowest combined singles ranking of any team that entered.

Also qualifying directly, in order of their rankings: Elena Rybakina and Taylor Fritz, Diana Shnaider and Daniil Medvedev, Iga Swiatek and Casper Ruud — the runner-up team last year — Belinda Bencic and Flavio Cobolli, and Amanda Anisimova and Learner Tien.

The remaining wild cards given Monday went to the teams of Leylah Fernandez and Frances Tiafoe, and Taylor Townsend and Alexander Zverev.

The first round and quarterfinals will be played Aug. 25, with the semifinals and final set for Aug. 26. All of the matches will be played either in Arthur Ashe Stadium or Louis Armstrong Stadium, the two biggest venues.

Three remaining wild-card spots are still to be announced, and the final two teams in the two-day main draw will earn their way in through an eight-team qualifying tournament to be played Aug. 24.

The teams given spots in the qualifying tournament Monday: Katerina Siniakova and Henry Patten, Gabriela Dabrowski and Harri Heliovaara, Luisa Stefani and Neal Skupski, Aleksandra Krunic and Mate Pavic, Jelena Ostapenko and Marcelo Arevalo, and Erin Routliffe and Lloyd Glasspool.

Two more teams will be given wild cards into the qualifying tournament.

Eala, 21, earned her first career title two weeks ago at the DC Open, becoming the first player from the Philippines to win a WTA Tour event, and has been drawing large crowds to her matches.

Monfils is at the opposite end of his career, with the popular Frenchman planning to retire after this season.

Errani and Vavassori won the title in New York in 2024, but the Italians weren’t sure they would even get to defend it after the USTA revamped the event last year in an effort to draw top singles players who had long been shunning mixed doubles.

They were eventually given a wild card, becoming the only traditional doubles team in the event, and beat Swiatek and Ruud in the final.

Team India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant produced a sparkling knock at a crucial time on Day 4 of the first Test against Sri Lanka at Galle on August 18. Despite holding a 178-run first-innings lead, Team India were in a spot of bother at 81/3 when Pant walked out to bat.

The southpaw, renowned for his counter-attacking abilities, swung the momentum Team India’s way with his breathtaking 66 off 69 balls. In the process, Pant also became the first Indian to smash 100 maximums in Test cricket.

The sparkling display and a 20th half-century included eight boundaries and two maximums.

Pant had been criticized for the rash shots that led to his dismissals in the practice match and the first innings of the ongoing first Test. However, the gloveman once again proved his value to the Indian side in the red-ball format.

Fans on X praised Rishabh Pant for another game-changing knock in Test cricket with the following reactions:

Fans continued hailing Pant for his explosive knock, with one saying:

“Since Debut In 2018, Rishabh Pant India’s Best Test Batter and Most Impactful Batter. Without Pant, India’s Test Cricket Team Is Nothing. In Every Difficult Situation This Player Scored Runs. Some Bitter Journalists Write About Pant, The Team Management Is Not Happy With Pant, Pant Will be Removed From The Team.”

“Flamboyant was literally made for Rishabh Pant. The swagger, the fearless shots, the madness — there’s simply no one like him,” said a fan.

“Rishabh Pant has once again answered his critics with the bat! A brilliant innings against Sri Lanka when it mattered. Instead of constantly criticising him, learn to appreciate match-winning performances. Let the bat do the talking!,” a fan posted.

Rishabh Pant’s heroics help India set a daunting run-chase for Sri Lanka

Rishabh Pant was one of India’s few bright spots in the second innings of the first Test against Sri Lanka. The left-hander was India’s lone half-centurion in the innings as they fizzled away to be bowled out for 193 in the 49th over.

Yet, with the advantage of a massive first-innings lead, India ensured that the Lankans had a mountain to climb. With a day and a session remaining in the contest, Team India set the hosts a daunting target of 372 in the final innings.

Pant aside, India received contributions from KL Rahul (35) and Devdutt Padikkal (44) in their second innings. The rest of the Indian lineup had no batters even cross double figures.
