So there you go, our first taste of the new-look Scottish League Cup and we ended with much excitement at Station Park, with Dundee United edging out Arbroath on penalties to go top of their group, while Raith Rovers and Partick Thistle also start with victories.

Join us again tomorrow for 13 more ties, with match of the day being Motherwell hosting Rangers.

With that penalty excitement, I forgot to pass on that Raith Rovers took all three points at Station Park.

"Thanks for jinxing United with your little "no penalties" update! Iain, disgruntled Arab in the French Alps." Sorry Iain. But you did win the shoot-out at least.

So United take the bonus point, with Arbroath having to settle for one after losing the shootout.

Good to see such positive texts this evening. How long will everyone's confidence last?

Arbroath secure a draw, which means the first penalty shoot-out of the new League Cup format.

How disappointing. Into stoppage time and it doesn't look like we are going to get our first taste of the new penalty shoot-outs to settle drawn games.

Not surprised you kept your name hidden with a prediction like that! Although who knows, stranger things have happened.
