The draw has thrown up three derbies - Falkirk host East Stirlingshire, Queen of the South travel to Annan while Dunfermline and Cowdenbeath meet at East End Park.
The games are due to take place on August 1 but Rangers are likely to have their game moved as Celtic host Ross County in the Premiership opener on that day.
Hearts will also need to find a different date as they begin their Premiership campaign against St Johnstone on the Sunday of that weekend.
Rangers and Hibs begin their campaigns with a Petrofac Training Cup clash at Easter Road on July 25.
