St Johnstone, Raith Rovers, Elgin City and East Kilbride, that’s an interesting group.

That’s a tough group. I’d imagine we will use it as a pre season exercise

Agreed! St J are just down from the Premiership, Raith Rovers were pretty credible last season, Elgin have been on a roll while local derbies can also always be tricky, and East Kilbride are an unfamiliar rising force.

Brora will also have their hands full in a group with Kilmarnock and Livingston… the only group with two of next season’s Premiership sides.

That’s a decent draw and nice not to have any other teams from our league in the group.

I seem to recall RIG being a bit of an insider on calling how these are usually announced. You got anything for us?

@RiG never fails. Hurry up mun

Edit- it’s being suggested on p&b that it’s SJFC and Elgin at home, and trips to the San Starko and that dire place with all the roundabouts.

East Kilbride have announced on their twitter they are at Home v us. Fantastic news  

[Yngwie]

I guess EK would until recently have been the largest place in Scotland without a league club? Population is over 75,000 so there is long term potential to be a top flight club if they could somehow build a fan base, but I suspect about 74,500 of those residents are more interested in the old firm.

Pity, would loved to have the Elgin game through at Borough Briggs. Can’t remember the last time I was at a game there. Got to be 30 years plus. 

No matter, looking forward to the match already. Brings back big-match memories at Telford St for me.

Thats the best possible combination of home games for us in terms of attendance, I think, and a nice wee close to home game for @CaleyD now that he's residing in the Kingdom of Fife.
