I emailed the SPFL yesterday Billy but got a generic reply saying the draw info will be announced early next week.Quote:

Based on us being a top seed due to being a Premiership side, if Dundee Utd come up, the North top seeds would be
Ross County
Dundee
Dundee Utd
Hibs
Southern top seeds would be
Hearts
Kilmarnock
Partick
Motherwell
If Hamilton stay up then Hearts would join us as top seeds.
Great fun eh. Possible trips to Inverness, Peterhead, Brechin, Montrose, Elgin to start the season :rolleyes:
Cheers Callum, hope the draw put Hearts in the North and Hibs in the south, for travel reasons of course
My first away day with my mates was at Montrose in the League Cup in 79. Happy days. Wouldn't mind a wee trip again in July.Quote:

Exactly, Tynecastle is nearer the Forth Road Bridge so they should be classed as the north team. We should protest to the SPFL if they aren't. :greengrinQuote:

Read Callum's 1st post on this thread, who would you put in the Notth section thenQuote:

Motherwell
Hamilton

Morton
Queen o t South
St Mirren
Dumbarton
Being in the same pot as the Pars is the reason the friendly has been arranged.
I think it's every game mate - it included Turriff last year so I'd imagine it will.Quote:
