The season hasn't even finished and already we have the draw for the opening group stage of the 2018/19 League Cup taking place a week on Friday.

 

Cove Rangers and Elgin City away please.

Cove would be great for me as I live a mile from their new balmoor stadium

And I thought Sevco were her Majesty's Scottish team!!!!

Does the seeding/draw mean we will end up in the same group as County this coming season?

Hearts, St Johnstone, Dundee, Ross County the north seeds
Killie, Motherwell, Accies, Partick Thistle the south ones

Dundee United, Dunfermline, Inverness, Falkirk the north second seeds
St Mirren, Livingston, Morton, Queen of the South the south ones

North teams: Brechin, Raith, Alloa, Arbroath, East Fife, Forfar, Montrose, Peterhead, Stirling Albion, Elgin, Cowdenbeath, Cove Rangers

South teams: Dumbarton, Ayr, Stranraer, Airdrie, Queen's Park, Albion Rovers, Stenhousemuir, Clyde, Annan, Berwick, Edinburgh City, Spartans

Copied from P & B. I think the above is right.

Couldn't give a toss who we are grouped with as long as we get out of it.

Hope it's Hearts then. Plus pretty much anybody apart from Brechin, Alloa, Forfar, Stirling, Cowden as we've played them all recently.

Hope Cowdenbeath and Cove are drawn together.

A bit of variety would be good....for a small country with so many teams, we have a knack of always seeming to be playing the same few time and again.

Montrose Dundee and Cove would suit me quite well.

You have the second sight, my man! Wonderful entertainment. Highlight of the draw! All they need to do now is to get the same ref back.

Monday 4th June is when actual match dates will be released I think. 

Not a bad group. 

Hearts and Cowdenbeath (away) - Raith and Cove (Home)

Oh thanks, how was that announced? I must of missed that 

Nothing has been announced yet. Fixtures are to be announced week commencing 4th June.

Cove away please the rest not worried about. Although if cove get a home tie against cowdenbeath might have to walk the quarter mile to Balmoral stadium for a nosey.

It was a Seer moment but If the Jam Tarts are top seeds then it would make sense if they are given the two other "higher" teams in Embra  - us and Raif with tother two away.

Us being second it would make sense to have Raif at home. Evidently the other (home or away) would be Cove or Cowdenbeath. As the Jam Tarts are top seeds I suspect that we would be given the second bottom at home (Cowdenbeath)

Raif then would have both Cove and Cowdenbeath at home.
