Guest DAVIDB69 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Yeah, still regionalised and seeded. Doesn't that make it a bit lop sided draw as most of the better teams are the the east section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Getting a big club like Celtic is the dream for a team like us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 I'll take a guess at the splits being like this... North Pot 1 - Dundee Utd, Dunfermline, Raith, Falkirk, Alloa, Peterhead North Pot 2 - Turriff/Montrose, Arbroath/East Fife, Forfar, Brechin, Elgin, Stenhousemuir South Pot 1 - Ayr, Dumbarton, Hibs, Morton, QOS, St Mirren South Pot 2 - Livingston, Queen's Park, Celtic U20, Albion Rovers, Airdrie, Stranraer I'm probably way out with that though.

Jan Vojáček Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Livingston, Queen's Park, Celtic U20, Albion Rovers, Airdrie, Stranraer Well, that's the most depressing list of potential cup opponents of all time. Albion Rovers at Cliftonhill would probably be the only one I'd bother going to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QosLoyal Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Hopefully stranraer, preferably away.The only interesting tie for us i would say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattmc Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Dumbarton at home, only if our form improves though. Beat them pre-season and would be nice to get one over Stevie Aitken. Failing that Ayr, they're probably the weakest of the seeded teams in the south section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayhole Blue Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 If that's the split, the north looks easier as usual - with League One sides among the seeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrunitedfw Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Stranraer home or away. Easy passage in to the next round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll be pretty close, if not spot-on. However, it is hard to predict exactly, as the previous rounds showed. In R1 they put split the SPFL2 clubs into regions; then seeded by last season's finishing position; then put the lowest in each - East Stirlingshire and Berwick Rangers - into one pot alongside all the 'B' teams (which had been split into regions), and drew them against the other pot containing SPFL2 clubs who'd finished above them and the non-league teams who'd finished below them (again split into regions). In R2 things got broadly simpler, just seeded into two pots then divided into regions (IIRC); but Hearts 'B' were put in the North section while Spartans and the winner of Rangers v Stirling Uni were put in the South section. So if the latter was repeated in R3 you could be looking at Hibs in North and Alloa in South. Also I think they'd seed Livingston and unseed Ayr too... e.g. Elgin entered in R1, Queen's Park in R2.

Poet of the Macabre Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I won't be going but I'd be pissed off about missing a trip to Turriff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
