There where no real surprises in the second batch of games in this years Scottish League Cup. St Johnstone put six past Arbroath. Steve Milne and Kenny Deuchar both scored twice to put the Saints into the Third Round. St. Mirren score either side of half-time against a 10-man Ayr United.
The Fife derby between Dunfermline and Raith Rovers ended in a comfortable 3-1 win for the Pars. Mark Cambell scored an own goal for Raith in that game.
On a side note, it's nice to see Neil McGregor back in action with Dunfermline. The former Clyde player, released from the club following their relegation and financial difficulties at the end of last season was a favourite in Inside Left's desperate attempts at playing Football Manager. No matter which team I was busy getting relegated, Neil came with me, often with great results.
Where was I?
Ah yes. Hibs. Another own goal, this time from Brechin's Ian Nimmo, helped John Hughes' men to an easy win over the Second Division side. Derek Riordan and a 25-yard belter from Paul Hanlon finished any resistance the Glebe Park outfit had to offer.
The complete list of teams to go into the hat for the Third Round draw is as follows: Hibernian, Dunfermline, St Mirren, St Johnstone, Dundee United, Dundee, Inverness Caley, Kilmarnock, Ross County and Queen of the South. They'll be joined by our lucky European qualifiers, uhur, Celtic and Rangers (the spongy ball and the ribbed ball respectively, allegedly), Aberdeen, Motherwell and Falkirk.
No idea when the draw is, sorry, but it'll be soon. Possibly.
