    That's all for now...

    Join us tomorrow for Scotland's Nations League match in Slovakia.

    A win will secure top spot in the group for Steve Clarke's side with a game to go.

    Then we have that Hibs v Dundee tie to wrap up the League Cup group phase.

    Thanks for your company today and join us tomorrow if you can.

  2. Goals, goals, goalspublished at 17:34 Greenwich Mean Time 14 November 2020

    Livingston and Alloa were today's top scorers, with four apiece.

    The Wasps were in trouble at 2-0 down at home to Stenhousemuir but came roaring back thanks to a Liam Buchanan hat-trick.

    Livingston also came from behind as Airdrie opened the scoring in West Lothian, with Jay Emmanuel-Thomas getting his first goals, while Alan Forrest also notched two.

    Dunfermline's comeback was the most dramatic of all, with a stoppage-time goal from Paul Watson sealing their 100% record, having been 2-0 down to Clyde at East End Park.

  3. Last 16 is settled, not quite there with seedspublished at 17:23 Greenwich Mean Time 14 November 2020

    Okay, here are the "known knowns" to paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld.

    Celtic, Rangers, Aberdeen and Motherwell will enter the competition in tomorrow's draw as seeded sides.

    Livingston, Dunfermline and Hearts will also be seeded.

    Non-seeded group winners (at the moment) are Ross County, St Johnstone, St Mirren and Ayr United.

    Alloa, Falkirk and Arbroath are going through as best runners-up.

    Then it's down to that match at Easter Road tomorrow to resolve the issue of the last seed, but both Hibs and Dundee are going through before a ball is kicked. A winner over 90 minutes in that one would be seeded, as would Dundee if they take a penalties bonus.

    If Hibs prevail by way of a shootout, then I reckon Ross County will be the final seeded side.

  4. Arbroath ease through after delayed kick offpublished at 17:19 Greenwich Mean Time 14 November 2020

    FT: Arbroath 3-0 Elgin City

    No miracle Elgin recovery to save Dundee United's bacon... Arbroath are in the hat for the last 16.

  6. One game to go...published at 17:08 Greenwich Mean Time 14 November 2020

    There is one fixture remaining, with Hibernian taking on Dundee at Easter Road tomorrow.

    Both teams have three wins, so they are both guaranteed to progress.

    A win over 90 minutes would guarantee a seeding in the draw for the last 16.

    A penalty shootout bonus would do the same for Dundee but not Hibs.

  7. Bonus point for Thistlepublished at 17:04 Greenwich Mean Time 14 November 2020

    FT: Partick Thistle 0-0 Morton (4-2 pens)

    It doesn't count for much but it's always nice to get the better of a team from the league above you.

  8. Ayr United win shootout to top grouppublished at 17:00 Greenwich Mean Time 14 November 2020

    FT: Ayr Utd 1-1 Stranraer (6-5 pens)

    Ayr United march into the last 16.

  9. Perfect 10 at Somerset Parkpublished at 16:57 Greenwich Mean Time 14 November 2020

    FT: Ayr United 1-1 Stranraer

    Both sides have taken five spot-kicks. No misses yet...

  10. Two more seeds confirmedpublished at 16:56 Greenwich Mean Time 14 November 2020

    That late, late comeback from Dunfermline leaves the Fife side with a perfect record in the group stage, while Livingston have also amassed maximum points.

    Both will be seeded in tomorrow's draw.

  11. FULL-TIMEpublished at 16:55 Greenwich Mean Time 14 November 2020

    Most of the games are done now. Partick Thistle and Morton are heading for penalties, but nothing is at stake there.

    Arbroath and Elgin have around 20 minutes to go, with the Red Lichties leading 2-0.
