League Cup Draw


Recommended Posts


Tomorrow at 2.30pm, I hear.

 

Partick are playing Ayr tonight and assuming they win, will be seeded.

 

If Ayr win, Hamilton will be seeded instead.

 

Seeded: Ross County, Dundee Utd, Aberdeen, Killie, Hearts, St Mirren, Dundee, Morton, Falkirk, Livingston, Partick/Hamilton

 

Unseeded: Airdrie, Montrose, Cowdenbeath, Dumbarton, Dunfermline, Forfar, Alloa, Raith, Stranraer, Queen of the South, Hamilton/Ayr

 

Montrose at home for me, straight forward as possible!

 

For selfish reasons, Dunfermline, Alloa, Raith or Hamilton (should they beat Ayr) will do for me.

Think it's to do with where you finished the previous season Bruce.

 

Dundee finished 12th in the SPL while Partick finished a place below them in the league structure.

Correct.

 

That's also why last season the rangers had to play in round 1 as they are a new club and didn't have a previous season finishing position.

 

More ammo against the zombie hun friends you might have.

None of the away ties are too bad for myself in terms of getting to the game - although Stranraer and Queen of the South are a pain in the arse to get to.

 

Preferably if its away - Dumbarton. Ground is a 10 minute walk from work and could have a few pints before the game with a workmate who's a season ticket holder there.

See both sides - Alloa have taken player on loan and want to play the player every game they want to. On the other hand he is player employed by Aberdeen (who will still be paying most of his wages) and they don't want their own player playing against and knocking club out of the cup. Also not fair on lad if he does have to come back and he has scored winner against us or accidently crippled one of our players.

 

Of course we should still be in competition when he returns to club (hopefully a much improved player) and we might need to call on him for the semi and final.

 

But pretty sure Aberdeen wont have done a Celtic and we will have put in clause letting him play against us.

I doubt if Dec will be allowed to play, Cwis Maguire and (P)ricky Foster had to sit out matches against us when they were on loan.............having said that he played on Saturday so he is cup-tied anyway.

 

Alloa have ex Dons Darren Young and Scott Bain in their ranks as well

Looking forward to this now to see if we are over our lower league hoodoo at Pittodrie.

With right attitude from the off there should never be any problems against lower league sides. Last 10 years we went out half paced, half hearted and with shit attitude. Hopefully the new attitude that seems to be eminating from our new regime will show through and there will be no problems.
