CIS League Cup First Round Preview

The first national cup competition starts tomorrow as the CIS League cup gets underway , clubs from all Scotland's 4 divisions take part in this round but only Inverness the 1st division champions last season will be representing the SPL.

Match of the round has to be the derby between Raith Rovers and East fife , Rovers will be looking to get back to winning ways as they were knocked out of the ALBA challenge cup last weekend by Cowdenbeath , East Fife arguably were in the tie of the round as they finally beat Brechin City 4-3 in extra time.

When the draw was made I'm sure Berwick Rangers were happy...NOT , they make the long journey north to Peterhead , Dunfermline again take on Arbroath at East End Park , Ross County take on Livingston in a tasty game in Dingwall and Inverness start their campaign 2 weeks before the rest of the SPL with a home game vs Queens Park.

Sunday's only game is between East Stirling and Alloa Athletic

My tip for this round?? , well I'm going for the same teams as i did last week , Dundee to beat Montrose and Queen of the South to beat Dumbarton , both will get you just under even money.

The full draw is as follows.......

Dundee vs Montrose , Elgin City vs Ayr Utd , Dunfermline vs Arbroath , Annan Athletic vs Partick Thistle , Stirling Albion vs Forfar Athletic , Albion Rovers vs Airdrie Utd , Ross County vs Livingston , Stenhousemuir vs Brechin City , Raith Rovers vs East Fife , Clyde vs Cowdenbeath , Peterhead vs Berwick Rangers , Stranraer vs Morton , Queen of the South vs Dumbarton , Inverness vs Queens Park , East Stirling vs Alloa Athletic.
