  1. goal

    GOAL FALKIRK 1-1 Peterhead

    Tom Lang

    Falkirk still have a chance of progression, but they'll need to win this one.

    They're heading in the right direction now, though.

  2. goal

    GOAL ANNAN ATHLETIC 1-1 Raith Rovers

    Josh Galloway

    Speaking of Group F, Annan level things up.

    With Killie winning elsewhere, Raith need a sizeable win to compete for one of the best runners-up sports.

  3. Albion Rovers 0-1 Kilmarnock

    Rovers thought they'd made it 1-1, but it was well offside.

    Killie still remain top of Group F as it stands.

    GOAL AYR UNITED 1-0 Alloa Athletic

    Fraser Bryden

    Josh Sims

    The Staggies have been flying so far this League Cup campaign.

  8. goal

    Stirling can still progress so this may be a pivotal goal already this afternoon.

  9. goal

    Kevin O'Hara

    The Group C leaders take the lead.

  10. goal

    GOAL ST MIRREN 1-0 Forfar Athletic

    I may have cursed Forfar with that pre-match entry.

    Apologies...

  11. goal

    Leighton McIntosh

    Dick Campbell's side take the lead.

  12. goal

    Another potentially big goal in Group F...

  13. goal

    GOAL Albion Rovers 0-1 KILMARNOCK

    Stuart Findlay

    Findlay gets his second Killie goal since the defender's return this summer as he makes it 1-0 for Derek McInnes' side in Group F.

    A win would guarantee the Ayrshire side top their group and progress.

  14. goal

    GOAL Falkirk 0-1 PETERHEAD

    Conor O'Keefe

    Our first goal of the afternoon comes from Falkirk as the away side, Peterhead, take the lead.

  15. KICK-OFF

    Whistles are peeping across the country as action commences at 15 League Cup games this afternoon.

    Here we go!

  16. 'The players still need minutes, and we need to win' - McInnes

    Albion Rovers v Kilmarnock

    Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes tells BBC Scotland balancing the need to get his players' fitness up with cup progression is an important task at this stage of the season.

    "It’s in our hands," he says. "If go win we top the group, job done.

    "Equally, we have still got a job to do though.

    "Group stages can be easy for players to think you can make up for it next game, but it’s clear now, when it comes to this stage, it’s a cup tie and if they win the game then it's job done and you’re through.

    "We’re trying to win difficult cup ties but still being conscious that you’re still trying to get minutes into players.

    "We’ve still got to be mindful it may not be your freshest team, but it will be your best team to go and win the cup tie."

  18. How to follow your Premiership team

    With the start of the Premiership season fast approaching, the BBC's coverage is bigger and better than ever before.

    Here's everything you need to know to make sure you never miss a moment...

  19. Team of the cup so far?

    Forfar Athletic v St Mirren

    Forfar Athletic may just have that accolade bestowed upon them so far.

    Incredibly, the League 2 two outfit are one of only three teams with maximum points so far and anything other than a defeat in Paisley guarantees them first place.

    A 1-0 home win over Cowdenbeath was followed up with a 2-1 win away to Montrose.

    Arbroath then came calling and they beat Dick Campbell's side 3-1.

    A sterner test awaits them today with a trip to Premiership side St Mirren, but it may just be too close to call pre-match.

  20. Winner takes all in Glasgow

    Partick Thistle v Spartans (15:00)

    Thomas Duncan
    BBC Scotland

    Firhill is set for a winner takes all clash in Group B, with League 2 Spartans in town.

    The Edinburgh side pulled off one of the shocks of the competition by beating Dundee United in their opener.

    Win here at Firhill and they're through to the last 16. Partick Thistle will have something to say about that of course.

    Meanwhile, Falkirk will look to beat Peterhead at home and hope for a draw here to open the door to winning Group B.
