One of the standout games from the weekend saw Falkirk causing a shock by defeating Dundee United, with East Fife also surprising everyone by thrashing Morton. Pre-season friendlies have been replaced by these cup fixtures and surprises are bound to happen, although they become less likely as we progress through the group stage.
Hibernian had an impressive start to their campaign as they secured a 5-0 victory over Elgin City, a satisfying beginning for newly appointed manager David Gray. Their next challenge comes in the form of Queen’s Park, a Championship side who also impressed with a 5-0 win over Peterhead in their opening group game.
Queen’s Park’s strong start to the season was preceded by a wild friendly match against Celtic which ended in a 6-4 defeat, showcasing their attacking prowess. Tonight’s game against Hibernian will be a true test for both teams as they look to continue their winning ways in the group stage.
