CIS League Cup 2nd Round Round up

The CIS cup got underway for most of the SPL sides on Tuesday and Wednesday with a few minor shocks and lots of goals. Tuesday nights action saw Aberdeen stroll to a 3-0 win over Alloa after the Alloa keeper was sent of in 15 minutes. Paul Hartley converted the penalty before McArdle and MCguire add Aberdeen's 2nd and 3rd. Hearts had an easy game as expected as they hammered Elgin 4-0 at Tynecastle , Kevin Kyle scoring 1 of the goals (his 2nd in 2 games). Raith Rovers continued their fine for by knocking out SPL side Hamilton 1-0 , Mark Ferry scoring from close range in 68 minutes. Up in Perth St Johnstone got back to winning ways by beating 1st Division side Morton 2-0 , Scott Dobie headed St Johnstone ahead in 22 mins then 10 minutes before time Murray Davidson finished the tie. Dunfermline and Clyde played out a 5 goals thrill with The Pars finally coming out on top 3-2 , Andy Kirk got 2 goals whilst the impressive Marc McKusker scored again for Clyde. Falkirk showed their class by travelling to Firhill and defeating Partick Thistle 1-0 , Ryan Flynn getting the only goal of the game in 58 minutes. Finally on Tuesday Brechin caused a shock when they beat 1st division title favorites on penalty's after a 2-2 draw. Rory McCallister put Brechin 2-0 up in the 2nd half before 2 quick goals from Dundee in-form striker Leigh Griffiths sent the tie to extra time and penalty's.

Wednesday night saw only 4 games but an abundance of goals , Inverness won a Northern derby by beating Peterhead 3-0 , the impressive Adam Rooney scoring twice. Kilmarnock scored 6 as they hammered Airdrie 6-2 at Rugby Park , Connor Sammon was the hero as he got a hat trick. Queen of the South put in an impressive showing beating 2nd Division high flyers Forfar 4-1 and in another minor shock Ross County saw off SPL side St mirren on penalty's after drawing 3-3 , it was 2-2 after 90 minutes but goals from Paul McGowan (St Mirren) 91mins and Steven Craig (Ross County) 95 mins sent the game to the lucky draw of spot kicks.

its 6 out of 6 for myself as both Hearts and Inverness won midweek , hopefully some of you are following this and have won some money. My nest bet will be at the weekend's games in the SPL and SFL.

the full results are as follows......

Alloa 0 v 3 Aberdeen
Brechin 2 v 2 Dundee (Bechin win on penalty's)
Dunfermline 3 v 2 Clyde
Hearts 4 v 0 Elgin
Partick Thistle 0 v 1 Falkirk
Raith Rovers 1 v 0 Hamilton
St Johnstone 2 v 0 Morton
Inverness 3 v 0 Peterhead
Kilmarnock 6 v 2 Airdrie
Queen of the South 4 v 1 Forfar
Ross County 3 v 3 St Mirren (Ross County win on penalty's)
