Stenhousemuir 0-0 Ayr United
First goal in, and a first sub too.

Not the start Gary Naysmith would have wanted...

Aberdeen 0-0 Airdrieonians
Fair bright start from Airdrie in their cracking black away kit. Smart as.
No shock, Rhys McCabe's side really spreading the ball about well.

Buckie Thistle v Dundee United (20:00)

Safe hands for sure.

Dundee v Annan Athletic (19:45)
As mentioned, Dundee are calling Glebe Park home tonight.
At any mention of the ground, I always think of the William Wallace statue outside.

You can't say you're feeling underprepared about tonight's action now, can you?
Kick-off across the country about 15 minutes away, except for Buckie Thistle v Dundee United which is a 20:00 BST start, mind...
County to get the better of Raith... again?published at 19:27 British Summer Time 23 July
Group H
Last, but certainly not least, the great Group H.
Ross County, who were previewed in today's Scottish Football Podcast, can leapfrog Raith Rovers, who sit out tonight, to top spot if they inflict defeat on unbeaten Hamilton Accies.
John Rankin's side are yet to concede, but County have celebrated five goals in their first two games.
It's another all-League 2 affair in the other group game, with Stirling Albion and Stranraer both vying for their first win.

Group G
Firhill for thrills tonight?
Partick Thistle hit Edinburgh City for six on Saturday, with six different goalscorers. Yes, of course Brian Graham was one of them.
Someone who knows all about the big man and his goals is his former manager, Ian McCall. Tonight, he's in the away dugout at his beloved Firhill as Clyde boss.
Away from the McCall derby in Maryhill, Montrose welcome Michael McIndoe's City, who will be keen to pick up from that hammering at the weekend.

Wasps to sting Saints' strong start?published at 19:22 British Summer Time 23 July
Group F
Another tussle between the top two in Group F.
St Johnstone have sailed through their first two wins, but Craig Levein is aware Andy Graham's unbeaten Alloa Athletic will force them to be at their best.
Saints will once again be without their skipper, Kyle Cameron, while the Wasps' Scott Taggart could make career appearance 502, and Stefan Scougall 402. Numbers.
In the other Group F game, Dick Campbell is reunited with one of his former sides in Brechin City as the Highland League side travel to Methil to take on East Fife.
