Aberdeen v Queen's Park then takes centre-stage on Saturday, March 8, with the match at Pittodrie Stadium kicking off at 12.30pm live on BBC One Scotland as the Championship side aim to replicate their historic giant-killing act after knocking out Rangers with a 1-0 win at Ibrox in the previous round.
