Betfred Cup group stages draw
Livingston will begin their Betfred Cup campaign this season in Group F following this evening’s draw.
The full group is shown below:
Hamilton Academical
Livingston
Berwick Rangers
Airdrieonians
Annan Athletic
The group stage draw sees the 40 participating clubs scheduled to play four games across five match dates – 14 July, 18 July, 21 July, 25 July and 28 July (subject to broadcast selections).
The format, announced in advance of the 2016 Betfred Cup, sees all drawn group stage matches go straight to a penalty shoot-out with the winners earning an extra ‘bonus point’ in addition to the traditional point given for a draw. The eight group winners and four best runners-up progress to the last 16 where they are joined by holders Celtic and fellow European representatives Aberdeen, Rangers and Hibernian.
