Dunfermline Athletic reached the final despite having been relegated from the Scottish Premier League.
En route to the final they defeated 31 times winners of the competition Rangers, Cup holders Hearts, Partick Thistle and the 2007 League Cup winners Hibernian.
Celtic's route to the final was somewhat more straightforward, defeating lower league sides Dumbarton and Livingston in the third and fourth rounds respectively.
They did, however, require two late goals in their quarter-final match with Inverness CT to win the tie 2-1.
Highland League side Deveronvale reached the Fourth round for the first time in their history, eventually going out to First Division Partick Thistle.
