barnseytheclaret Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Evening all. Bit keen in asking, I know, but wondering when the league cup draw takes place? I'm thinking May at some stage? Just trying to get my (almost) annual pilgrimage with the kids sorted. Trying to add another 3/4 grounds again this time round. Thanks in advance! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Sanchez Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Group stage draw is usually during the last week of May. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 It will have to be a bit later this year - the Scottish Cup final isn't until the 3rd June and we won't even know which clubs are in the group stage until after that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 (edited) Stirling Uni invited? Evidently no PO v Buckie. Edited April 30, 2023 by HibeeJibee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they produce the fixture rounds at the same time, or does that tend to be a bit later? Hoping to make two rounds of fixtures i.e. midweek and then he following weekend. Fingers crossed for a Friday night match and maybe even a Europa League or Conference League fixture (not sure who that would be?!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Saturday/Sunday for tv but guess with the broadcaster they can do what they want 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillips455 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Scottish League cup Draw will take place on Thursday at 1pm. The livestream for the event can be found here. I haven't seen anyone post the seeding/groupings and I know it's in the new format started last year. Hopefully they will post them soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unseeded - Cove Rangers, Dunfermline, Falkirk, Airdrieonians, Alloa, QOS, Edinburgh, Montrose, Kelty Hearts, Clyde, Peterhead, Stirling, Dumbarton, Annan, East Fife, Forfar, Stenhousemuir, Stranraer, Bonnyrigg Rose, Elgin, Albion Rovers, Brechin, Spartans, Buckie Thistle/Stirling Uni. I'd imagine it would be that based on last seasons standings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference I believe it would make is for the "Unseeded" to be split into 3 seperate pots but who knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Is this due to be on Viaplay? Might be persuaded to part with my 59 quid if they are going to show some ofnthe group games as Premier did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine that there will be group games on tv again this year as it is the same contract that Premier Sports had for showing league cup games that Viaplay have I am sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If those are the groups, I'd like to see QP again, as well as some places I've never been, or seen us play against - Annan, East Fife & Kelty would do nicely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Minertaur Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Just now, Ignoramus said: https://spfl.co.uk/news/202324-viaplay-cup-draw-seedings The five pots for the draw tomorrow are confirmed in here. I’m a bit confused, why are Brechin and Cowden included here? Presume it’s some form of legacy thing from their time in the SPFL, but it seems pretty unfair to the sides who finished ahead of them in the HL and LL? Brechin won the Highland league so are in. Cowden were invited in as we're big time.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
