League Cup 2nd Round Draw.

[Guest Mahonio]

I see that draw for League Cup 2nd round is tomorrow afternoon @ 1430: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013%E2%80%9314_Scottish_League_Cup.

 

 

Teams in it: Falkirk, Morton, Montrose, Cowdenbeath, Forfar, Stranraer, Hamilton, Dumbarton, Dunfermline, Queen of the South, Alloa, Raith, Livingston, Airdrieonians, Partick, Dundee, Inverness Caley, Ross County., Dundee Utd, Aberdeen, Kilmarnock, Hearts and St Mirren.

 

Not sure if draw is seeded or not but who takes your fancy from that list, for me: Montrose or Dumbarton, doesn't matter whether its home or away.

Obviously it would be best to play Montrose or Dumbarton at home,  I'd quite like Morton away though.  Always enjoy going to Cappielow.

I still don't think we'll be in that draw! I started a thread on this topic last month.

 

[Guest Mahonio]

Damn, never knew that but if you look at the link i posted, it says that 2nd round will be the 15 round 1 winners plus the 7 teams in Scots Premier plus relegated Dundee with Hibs, Motherwell, Saints and Celtic entering 3rd round draw.

 

In fact, you are right my friend: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_League_Cup.

The Rangers.......................oooooops, now hang-on.....................

[Govan Jaggie]

The big clubs don't enter until the next round.

[Rival]

I'd take any on the top line on that post if they were to get through, bar falkirk maybe

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

The big clubs don't enter until the next round.

 

  But let me get that right - in the third round we will be seeded and will not be drawn against Cellic, Well, St Johns Town or Hibees. Does that result in is also not to be drawn against the next top three SPL teams who get through in the third round as well ?

 

I never did like seeding and as ICT Chris had said elsewhere the away nights at lower league grounds is missed.

Yes. There will be eight seeded teams, of which we will be one, and eight non seeded. Agree with you about seeding. Cup competitions should be all about random draws out of the hat.

The seeding format is to give Rangers a chance at a trophy.............................................but wait.................they went out in first round.

When will these ties be played?

[Alex MacLeod]

Contrary to what the OP has written above. I assume he didn't realise it was past midnight when he posted. The draw is today at 14:30 hrs.

Tricky away ties for Jambo's away to Raith and a long midweek evening trip to Stranraer for County, Midden away to QoS - could be a few less SPFL teams by the time we enter the comp.

[Laurence]

Queen of the South must be favourites for an upset

[RiG]

Depending on the price I might go to Aberdeen v Alloa.

[Guest Mahonio]

When will these ties be played?

27th August so draw likely to be 28th.
