League Cup next round draw

[RossP]

I didn't realise that there was a seeding system for the next round of the League Cup, but i'll definitely take the likes of East Fife ahead of Celtic!!

*that is of no disrespect to East Fife, as they did what we couldn't do against St Mirren!! Really glad of it as well!!

If we can get through this next round, the Q/F could bring some much needed revenue and the possibility of a Final  :clapping03:

Dundee Utd and Mothersmell unseeded..?

Wouldn't want to get either of them next.....  :024:

[Proctor]

Can someone please explain the concept of seeded and unseeded?

[Scotty]

seeded teams cannot face each other - they will face one of the unseeded teams - means for example we cant draw Celtic or Rangers ! Seedings are based on league positions so we made it into the seedings ahead of Motherwell and Dundee United

where the **** are the SFL getting these league standings??

[Yngwie]

Last season's final standings.

The sad truth is that all the unseeded teams will be praying they get us in the draw. But there's nobody we should be afraid of.

[Guest Chemist]

any of them at home, apart from murrwell, and maybe arabs, or plastic whistle, or dundee, or the millionaire villagers, or Hammeltin, or the pars, and methils full of mercenaries this year. On the other hand just not murrwell.

[CELTIC1CALEY3]

They are all difficult teams. We should hope for Hamilton home and then pray that our ex-full back scores an own goal in the last minute. 'Sick as a Parratt' sounds good to me.

[Kingsmills]

We want to progress as far as possible in a competition we've never fared particularly well in. East Fife at Inverness will do just fine.

[Proctor]

Will the BBC post the draw on their site?

[RiG]

Will the BBC post the draw on their site?

Should do. Maybe a wee bit after two though. Have a look for the draw on the SFL/SFA website (I think that's where it is).

[Ritchie Sacramento]

The draw is as follows:-

Inverness Caledonian Thistle v Gretna

East Fife v Rangers

Falkirk v Dundee United

Dundee v Celtic

Hearts v Dunfermline Athletic

Hamilton Academical v Kilmarnock

Hibernian v Motherwell

Partick Thistle v Aberdeen

Dates for ties.

Third Round:- Tuesday 25th or Wednesday 26th September, 2007

Fair play to any Gretna fans who come up for this one!

[skifreak]

Fair play to any Gretna fans who come up for this one!

A park bench on the West Terrace should suffice!  :015:

[Zoid]

I'll settle for that.

Home tie against "second" sh*tiest" team in SPL  :crazy07:

[Fanoffooty]

I'll settle for that.

Home tie against "second" sh*tiest" team in SPL  :crazy07:

maybe but they'll be up for it  :023:

[Caley Mad In Berks]

Good test to see if we're likely to overtake them in the relegation battle!

[CaleyD]

I hate these types of games against middle of the road opponents  :029:

[clacher_holiday2]

couldnt have picked a better draw to be honest.

we will go into the game showing the opposition alot of respect, which will inevitably lead to us crushing them 4-0, wiping out whatever little confidence they had in their ability to stay in this league once and for all

so far every team thats come up against gretna have said they are the worst spl team theyve seen in years, we'll need to prove it!

[tm4tj]

I agree with clacher, great opportunity to start the rot and get us off and running.

Buoyed by our good performances in the last two games this is the chance to kick Gretna while they are still down, lose this one and I will start to worry.

<<looks over his shoulder smiley>>

[Kingsmills]

A reasonable draw with a good opportunity to reach the quarter finals after which anything is possible especially if we can rediscover a bit of form.

Can't complain about being drawn at home again.

[Johnboy]

Just as long as we give them a taste of what they can expect in our forthcoming league encounters.... :018:

[Guest Arab4Ever]

notice the OF got the two shitest teams in the draw... and you can bet your *** they wont meet until the final assuming neither gets knocked out. :rolleyes02:

or am i paranoid? :024:

[Mee]

Didn't think either of them drew United Arab? And you need more than one braincell for paranoia  :023:

[Guest Chemist]

This will give us some momentum too. 4 home games out of 5 now - Hearts, Gretna in cup, Falkirk, away to naismithless killie, and home again to Aberdire. Should then be above Gretna by the time we meet them at murrwell, looking forward to the quarters.

Probably the besy draw we could have had
