League cup draw

[Joe DiMaggio]

The league cup 3rd round draw is due to be made in about 30mins. I think the draw is meant to be seeded which means we are gauranteed an spl team.

The seeds are the 8 teams who finished highest in the league last season so going by that the seeds are- Rangers, Celtic, Hearts, Aberdeen, Dundee Utd, Hibs, Motherwell and Killmarnock. and the unseeded teams- Falkirk, St.Mirren, ICT, St. Johnstone, Dundee, Dnfermline, QOS and Ross Couty.

Best we can hope for is Killie at home as they are the only team we can atually beat at home.

Either of the Old Firm would be a timely boost to the coffers.

No reason to fear Motherwell. Hardly a money spinner though.

[DALNEIGHCALEY]

Oh well , theres always the Alba Cup .

[davieB]

Have to say underwelmed by this draw.

[DornochJAGGIE]

Not the easiest draw, but winnable.

[blobs]

not that bad a draw, butcher going back to his old club, maybe this time he'll be able to get the players up for it. Motherwell are still a completley unknown quantity and may well use the game to play some of the new lads/fringe players

[MissICT]

Motherwell

no to bad!

[alternative maryhill]

On a purely personal note, the positive is that this is a game I can make even though it will be a midweek fixture. Realistically, though, I don't give us much chance. Our recent record against Motherwell is very poor, and I think Gannon looks like a pretty shrewd manager. People seem to think they will struggle simply because Gannon isn't well known up here, but Motherwell seem to have a lot of good young players coming through.

Sofa for me if we do win though, being married to a Motherwell supporter.

[Kylef]

A new season, and different players at different clubs, and new manager for motherwell...really should mean a clean slate eh?

Think its one of the better teams we could have got!! No too shabby!!

[CaleyD]

So really, it's a no-win for you regardless of the outcome!!!

As for the doubters, this is the kind of game we used to relish the last time we were in Div 1. We thrived on the challenge and dare anyone ever tell us we weren't capable.....oh how times have changed....and not for the better it seems!!!

[WYNESS101]

:( it is a winnable game for us but then again who knows till the night

[Mfc]

Alright Chaps!

Good draw for both sides, each fancying their chances. Although we don't have the best of records in this cup.

[WYNESS101]

Although we don't have the best of records in this cup.

and we dont have good record against use

Record against Motherwell since 04/05 season:

Played 17, Won 6, Drawn 2, Lost 9. Four of those losses were in Brewsters second stint with us. Bearing that in mind I wouldn't say our record was that bad against Motherwell. I think any of the teams in the draw would be hard for us and that we have to go out with a win mentality and do the business like we could in days gone by.

[DJS]

It will be a good test of how good or bad we really are. Will be an interesting one.

I can see a flaw in that, Alex.
