Celtic Rugby can now confirm  the dates and kick-off times of the four quarterfinal matches in the forthcoming Celtic Cup.
The schedule is as follows:

Match 1 - Neath Swansea Ospreys v Ulster
Sat 30th April, kick-off 17.30, live on S4C

Match 2 - Munster v Edinburgh Rugby
Sat 30th April, kick-off 19.30, live on Setanta Sports

Match 3 -   Leinster v Glasgow Rugby 
Fri 29th April, kick-off 19.30, live on Setanta Sports

Match 4 -   Newport Gwent Dragons v Llanelli Scarlets
Fri 29th April, kick-off 19.05, live on BBC Wales
 
To assist competing clubs with their planning, an independent draw was made for the semi-final line-up before details of the quarter final participants were known. This will see the winners of match 3 host the winners of match 2 whilst the winners of match 4 play the winners of match 1.

This  translates into Leinster or Glasgow Rugby hosting  Munster or Edinburgh Rugby  whilst  Newport Gwent Dragons or Llanelli Scarlets can look forward to a home semi-final against Neath Swansea Ospreys or Ulster

The semi-finals will be played over the weekend of 6/7/8 May, kick-off times are to be confirmed:

The Celtic Cup final will take place on Saturday 14 May at a neutral stadium in the home country of one of the finalists.
