Finlay Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Pretty sure we are in the 2nd Round draw this Tuesday morning. Rangers, Celtic, Hearts, Dundee United, and, Killie get a bye to round 3. So that leaves Motherwell, ICT, St Johnstone, St Mirren, Aberdeen, Accies, and Hibs, in amongst the winners from Round 1 namely, Airdrie, East Fife, Morton, Clyde, Dunfermline, Falkirk, QOS, Ross County, Livingston, Raith Rovers, Dundee, Stenhousemuir, Ayr, Berwick, and, Forfar. I'd expect SPL teams (7) and First Division teams (top 4) to be seeded. I think that is how it works but I could be VERY wrong. So who do you fancy getting paired with? As the games are midweek fixtures (23rd or 24th August) Ross County away wouldn't be ideal. For me it would, solely on our chances of getting to Round 3, be; Away - Clyde. Home - Stenhousemuir.

Finlay Posted July 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Don't think we can draw Accies, Aberdeen, Hibs, St Johnstone, St Mirren, ICT, Dunfermline, Raith, QOS, or Dundee/maybe Falkirk (given I have the top four from memory correct from the First Division last season).

Finlay Posted July 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 League positioning but aye yer question still stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_P Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Perhaps something to do with the lost European place this season, where in recent times 5th place might normally have got you into Europe? Just that whilst we only got four places this in Europe this season the format of the League Cup still means there's provision made for 5 teams to get this round off.

Wellfan1984 Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Airdrie or Livi away would be nice. Despite being just up the road, the one club I don't want is Livingston. Anyone at home or anyone but Livingston away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone at home or anyone but Livingston away. the away league cup tie through in livi was a brilliant night. phil was top class and kenny wright's goal was a belter. not too bothered about this draw, i'm just glad stranraer are out. fuck going back down there.

Agreed, and as a spectacle I think if we draw them the match would be one of the best of the season, with Livingston looking to play football whenever possible, but I honestly think they are the best team currently in Division 1. Back with a vengeance tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
