League Cup Season 2024/25

[BigAl]

Draw takes place tomorrow (Wed 29th).

Take one from each pot, who do you fancy ?

I'll go for Livingston, Ayr (ten  minutes on the train for me), Kelty Hearts and East Kilbride (want to turn the rooster man over and get revenge for putting me through hell @ Darvel)

 

Pot 1 : Dundee - Aberdeen - Hibernian - Motherwell - St Johnstone - Ross County - Livingston - Dundee Utd.

Pot 2 : Raith - Partick - Airdrie - Morton - Dunfermline - Ayr - Queens Park - Inverness.

Pot 3 : Arbroath - Falkirk - Hamilton - Alloa - Montrose - Cove - Kelty Hearts - Queen of the South.

Pot 4 : Annan - Stirling - Edinburgh City - Stenhousemuir - Peterhead - Spartans - Dumbarton - East Fife.

Pot 5 : Forfar - Elgin - Bonnyrigg Rose - Clyde - Stranraer - East Kilbride - Buckie Thistle - Brechin City

[Jute]

Hate the thought of being in the group stages of this. Need to get back into Europe asap. 
 

Apparently teams from pot 2 and 4 would be played at home and 3 and 5 away. 
 

Not seen Aberdeen play Spartans, Edinburgh City, Kelty, Bonnyrigg or East Kilbride so any of them will do. Also not seen Aberdeen play at Cove so that would be decent as well. Would be interesting to see if we got to play at Meadowbank if we drew City as I know they really struggled to cope with Falkirk this year.

We just got rid of them and their shite pitch. I’d happily never play them ever again.

Wouldn’t mind Dunfermline and Arbroath. Not fussed about the rest.

We can't play Livi.

Had a senile moment

My bad as we are both pot one. I inadvertently put them in pot two meaning we would be playing them at Pittodrie.

Will just wait for the draw now.

That’s a relief! 
 

Hoping for Arbroath at Gayfield. The Steak and Black pies are great!

Even in summer it can be freezing at that ground and not even the great steak and black pudding pie makes up for the frost bite.

I’ve only been once - last January when they played Motherwell in the cup. The first half was fine but midway through the second half it hit me. Fucking freezing.

Bring on Dons, Caley, Cove, Peterhead and Buckie.  North East tour

Less likely now as the draw is no longer regionalised but that would be decent.

Airdrie 

QOTS

Dumbarton 

East Kilbride 

Should be looking for at least four points from that.

[STFU_Donny]

PTSD from that draw. QOTS for the SC semi and East Kilbride are managed by the ex Darvel manager.

Most Airdrie fans are banned from Ibrox for being too sectarian. 

[BigAl]

So Airdrie and Dumbarton @ Pittodrie

Queens and EK away

Assume the East Kilbride game will be switched to one of Motherwell, Hamilton or Airdrie grounds

Sure they moved one of their cup games to Hamilton a while back.

All four of our games in the section are either being shown live on Premier or are being streamed by Premier Sports.

Works for me as no chance of getting a ticket for the East Kilbride game despite being a deserving, loyal supporter of advanced years
