Aberdeen, Dundee & Ross County make it four from four in League Cup

Aberdeen, Dundee and Ross County completed their Scottish League Cup first-round groups with 100% records and were joined in the second round by Hibernian, St Johnstone, Falkirk and Spartans.

Dundee United, Airdrieonians and Queen’s Park will join the so far seven confirmed group winners in round two as the three best runners-up.

Aberdeen made it four wins out of four with six goals without reply at home to Dumbarton while Dundee humbled visitors Inverness Caledonian Thistle 6-0. County also won at home, 3-0 against Stirling Albion.

Hibs, Saints, Falkirk and Spartans finished with three wins, the former routing Peterhead 4-0 while the Perth side defeated East Fife 5-1.

Falkirk beat near neighbours 4-0 to finish ahead of United on goal difference in Group B. The Tangerines themselves only finished above Ayr United on goal difference.

Spartans’ 1-0 win at Livingston took them above David Martindale’s side on goals scored and Livi miss out on the next round to United, Airdrie and Queen’s Park, who all have a better goal difference.

Group G will be completed tomorrow when leaders Motherwell face third-placed Partick Thistle (15:00).

Scotland’s European representatives, Celtic, Rangers, Hearts, Kilmarnock and St Mirren, are seeded sides in Sunday’s last-16 draw, along with Aberdeen, Dundee and County. Rangers are cup holders after beating Aberdeen in last season’s final.
