Top-flight Livingston suffered a blow to their hopes of reaching the Scottish League Cup knock-out stage after losing 2-1 to League 1 Alloa Athletic.

The visitors, who had been weakened by Covid-19 infection and illness, lost two goals in the last eight minutes.

Dundee United are all but through after edging out Arbroath 1-0 to secure a third straight group-stage win.

Top-flight Motherwell had to come from two goals down to beat Queen of the South 3-2 for their second in a row.

Dunfermline Athletic recorded the biggest win of the day, thumping Dumbarton 5-1, while League 2 side Stirling Albion held second-tier Inverness Caledonian Thistle away from home before taking the bonus point following the penalty shoot-out.

Dundee United manager Tam Courts tells BBC Scotland: "I thought it was a really good encounter. We picked a team today to get minutes into the legs so the fact we had to play the last 15 minutes with 10 men was a real test of character, especially for the younger players, it gives them those survival skills."

Arbroath manager Dick Campbell tells BBC Scotland: "Any manager would be very proud of their players coming here, there was only one team on the park in the second half, we must have had 75% of possession against a Premiership club at Tannadice.

"First half - the goal we lost you would lose on a Sunday morning in the pub.

"We were excellent in the second half and we took the game to United and we should have won the game."
