Rangers unseeded in Friday's Scottish Communities League Cup draw


Recommended Posts

Rangers will be in the draw for the first round of the Scottish Communities League Cup when it is made on Friday.

 

The Third Division side will be unseeded as they enter the competition. 29 teams from the Scottish Football Leagueâ??s three divisions will be joined in the draw by SPL club Dundee.

 

Rangersâ?? participation is dependent on the Scottish Football Association granting Charles Greenâ??s newco the necessary membership to play football.

 

Alex Salmond will conduct the draw, which will take place at Stenhousemuir's Ochilview Park at 12.30pm on Friday.

 

First round games are currently scheduled to be played on Saturday, August 4.

 

The seven Scottish Premier League clubs not participating in European competition this season will enter at the second round stage. Celtic, Dundee United, Hearts, Motherwell and St Johnstone join in the third round.

 

The League Cup trophy has returned to Ibrox a record 27 times since the competitionâ??s formation in the 1946/47 season. Celtic have won on 14 occasions, followed by Aberdeen (five), Hearts (four), Hibernian, Dundee, East Fife (three) and six other winners.

 

Kilmarnock are the current holders, having won the tournament for the first time in their history when they defeated Celtic 1-0 at Hampden in March this year

Absolutely! We've been voted into Division 3. You'd have thought that the SFA would have made a plan for it and that the paperwork would have been in place to sort this out as soon as possible so the game in Scotland wouldn't look like the embarrassing mess that it is now. How can anyone have any confidence in a sporting body that runs things in such a shambolic way. And they say Rangers have brought the game in Scotland into disrepute ..... look in the mirror Mr Regan!

I think we're giving the SFA not enough credit for having a process but giving too much credit for expecting them to follow the process in a professional fashion.

 

The problem is not the process, it's that Regan that is delaying things to hold us to ransom so he can personally shaft us and shaft us again.
