Draw for this season's League Cup 3rd round is tomorrow at 1pm (from Aberdeen).

The 2nd round ties are tomorrow night, with the exception of Queen's Park v Rangers which is a 1st round game - with the winners playing ICT.

It's seeded, with the top 8 ranked teams from last season being kept apart. A little 'messy' at present, but will be revised after tomorrow night's games.

One thing that strikes me while writing this - which 'pot' will the likely Rangers or Inverness ball, go into!?

• Aberdeen (seeded)
• Celtic (seeded)
• Dundee or Raith
• Dundee United (seeded)
• Falkirk or Cowdenbeath
• Hamilton or Alloa
• Hibernian or Dumbarton
• Kilmarnock or Ayr
• Livingston or Queen of the South
• Morton or Partick
• Motherwell (seeded)
• Queen’s Park or Rangers or Inverness CT
• St Johnstone (seeded)
• St Mirren or Dunfermline
• Stenhousemuir or Hearts
• Stranraer or Ross County

Actually feeling optimistic about this tie. I can't find any prices yet, but I'm certain Rangers will start off as slight favourites - but I prefer that!

One slight downside - but shouldn't be too problematic, is that Hughes will have to tinker a bit with the team selection, as Shinnie and Draper (and Foran) are suspended for this game.  

Good point but this year we have better cover than we ever had and be nice to win with a weakened team as we all heard about last week

Why's everyone getting knickers twisted over the seeding. To me its well obvious. Doncaster and co have it on good authority that we WILL beat tRangers so they seeded us and we got Falkirk. No need to be a brain surgeon to work that one out.

 

It's how it looks. Yes again the authorities have managed to look as if they are bending over backward to help one or other of the Old Firm.

Might now be played at the Mike Ashley Arena. A difficult place to go.

I am reliably informed it will be called the 'Better Together Stadium' ;-)

Or how about Poundland Stadium
