W6er Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) I should say, away to Morton would be my number one draw - of they somehow scrape through. Failing that, away to Hamilton, Ayr, Airdrieonians or Partick Thistle would be a good day out. Anybody know how the seeding works for this draw? ETA: @exiledfan - I believe it is.

My thoughts too so likely a team in/knocked out of Europe for us. Morton at home please though if I'm confused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W6er Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 Just trying to work out of we can still be seeded: Group A: 1 Ayr 3 2 8 2 Stirling 3 2 7 If Ayr's best result is a single point at home to Alloa, they can finish on 9 points, so it would go to goal difference. Stirling are away to St. J, so I would not expect them to go through, but they can finish with 10 points. Best results for Saints: Alloa and St. Johnstone wins. An Ayr and/or Stirling win will see them finish on >9 points. Group B: 1 Dundee Utd 4 2 6 2 Partick Thistle 3 1 6 3 The Spartans 3 1 6 4 Falkirk 3 0 5 Nobody can finish on more than nine points, so goal difference is important here. We want draws or narrow-margin wins. Group 😄 [LIVINGSTON SEEDED] Team P GD Pts 1 Hamilton 3 3 8 2 Livingston 3 8 7 3 Cove Rangers 3 -1 6 The bad news is Livingston will almost certainly beat Clyde, so I am writing this one off as seeded. Group 😧 [SEEDED] 1 Ross County 3 7 9 2 Morton 3 4 6 3 Kelty Hearts 3 2 6 Bad news again, I cannot see past Ross County getting at least a draw at home to Kelty. Even if they do slip up, Morton are at home to winless Edinburgh. I am writing this one off as seeded, too. I've just looked at group E, and given up. Airdrieonians need a draw at Bonnyrigg, who currently have one point, to finish on ten points. In group G Motherwell need a penalty shoot-out win in their home game against East Fife to finish on 10 points. The good news is we could still get Airdrieonians, Motherwell or Livingston even though we won't be seeded! Of course, we have to beat Forfar first.

shull Posted July 28, 2023 Report Share Posted July 28, 2023 A poor result at Links Park v Montrose. However, an excellent attendance of 1618 fans. Three times Montrose's normal crowd. Fantastic crowd at Central Park of 859 for our match . The Blue Brazil normally get around the 300 mark, if that. I have noticed their attendances as low as 150-200.

Ronnie Posted July 29, 2023 Report Share Posted July 29, 2023 Aberdeen AirdrieAyr UnitedCeltic HeartsHibsKilmarnock LivingstonMortonMotherwellPartick ThistleRangersRoss CountyStirling AlbionSt Mirren & 1 of Dundee, Hamilton or Raith Rovers if Dundee win by more than 1 goal they go through as 3rd best runner up I believe. If they win by 1 goal all 3 teams have 9 points and plus 3 goal difference so would go down to goals scored I would think. Ayr United, Airdrie and Motherwell will be seeded as 3 best group winners. St Mirren will then play one of the European 5 & the 3 mentioned above. Sent from my T610K using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my T610K using Tapatalk TBH our home form wasn't that great until last season so that, IMO, gives us an advantage for almost any home tie.
