On a serious note, the 2 non-league qualifiers should be Brora Rangers & Spartans, presumably.

You would presume so , and in future years it will be the two champions of tier 5 if no one is relegated/ the non-promoted champion & the relegated club.

[sighs heavily :(].

Hibs have never played in this before :(.

It wasn't contested in 1998-99.

With the Premiership-Championship playoff now concluded, these will presumably be the R1 & R2 subdivisions?

North-East

Alloa

Arbroath

Brechin

Brora

Cowdenbeath

Dunfermline

East Fife

East Stirlingshire

Elgin

Falkirk

Forfar

Montrose

Raith

Stenhousemuir

Stirling

Peterhead

South-West

Airdrie

Albion Rovers

Annan

Ayr

Berwick

Clyde

Dumbarton

Hearts

Hibs

Livingston

Morton

Queen of the South

Queen's Park

Rangers

Spartans

Stranraer

There aren't SE or NW sections.

Berwick have always been in the South-West section.

If they put Hearts, Hibs and Spartans into the North-East section they'd need to put 3 of the Stirlingshire clubs into the SW section.

It could also be a bit odd to have Edinburgh clubs in the NE section while having Livingston, Berwick and various Stirlingshire clubs in SW.

Done the way I suggest puts Northern, Angus, Fife and Stirlingshire clubs in one and Strathclyde, Lothians & Borders and South-West clubs in the other. But I suppose it's not impossible they might want to manipulate the sections to make it more likely for Hearts, Hibs and Rangers to make the sharp end.

Are they still organising this using the idiotic principle of regionalising the first Saturday game of the season, before removing regions from the only midweek date?

Spartans to draw and pump Hibs in the First Round is pretty much a NAP.

Last 2 seasons they have regionalised the first 2 rounds, so the opening Saturday and the subsequent midweek.

Worth adding that Spartans, from Edinburgh, were in the SW section last season albeit R1 was drawn before they'd played their Preliminary v Threave.

Well, you could argue that either way. They haven't previously.

And it's true to observe that you'd be only splitting Stirlingshire down the middle if you put the Edinburgh clubs in the NE section.

And they have previously had Berwick and Livingston (and Spartans with the aforementioned caveat) in the SW section.
