Should be the next day or so. It’s a public holiday in Glasgow tomorrow, so possibly Tuesday or Wednesday

Hopefully a new ground or 2 to go to.

We get two of these away as top seeds, so unless it's Raith and Cowdenbeath then at least one trip to a ground we haven't been to in ages. Will be delighted with any Angus team (even Arbroath), Stenny or Stirling.

Of course, it's going to be Raith and Cowdenbeath away.

[GordonHFC]

Hibernian = North Section
Dunfermline = South Section

Cowdenbeath in July should be warmer than the last time I was there, freezing cold November rain.

Pick another one there's 5 teams in each section

Have to confess that I find the whole League cup group thing utterly underwhelming, it was binned for a reason back in the day. I'll still go to the games, but I doubt Hibs will make much, if any, money from the exercise no matter who we end up in a group with.

[Steven79]

Dunfermline should be in the North section so they have a chance of drawing other Fife teams and Alloa should be in the South section.

Disagree, think it's a great start to the season and a welcome alternative to more pre-season friendlies. Means we get to go to a whole bunch of new grounds instead of Dunfermline and Berwick every pre season too.

That’s where I am with it. It was an awful idea going back to this.

Don’t you think it’s better than playing meaningless friendlies?

I think it’s a good thing as the early European rounds were threatening to become more hassle than they were worth. If you got knocked out by a Azerbaijan team halfway through their season for example you could well lose money. The offer of a bye to the 2nd round of the league cup adds more to play for and means the teams who qualified for Europe are not disadvantaged by an earlier start.

Remember this is one of three competitions that Hibs can win this season.

If we accept the League is out of reach then it accounts for half of our shots at silverware.

It’s not to be sniffed at.

Still don’t know whether this is better than pre seasons or not. Personally Hibs never come down to England anymore (I don’t count Berwick or Carlisle) so in that sense it’s a shame. I also wonder if it’s good for the squad to go straight into competitive games in July. But it is what it is and we must try our best to win the damn thing.

I don’t mind the idea of groups, but it should be much more regionalised. A group of hibs, hearts, Edinburgh city, Spartans and Dunfermline would be excellent.
