League Cup First Round Results
By: Ian Rose |The first round of the Scottish league cup is in the books, and there were not a lot of surprises, but certainly a lot of goals.

League Cup quarterfinals
By: Ian Rose |From the 42 clubs that entered the 62nd annual Scottish League Cup, there are eight remaining, and after this week’s round, there will be only the four semifinalists.

League Cup quarters: Celtic out, Caley thrashed
By: Ian Rose |Well, the Halloween night quarterfinals of the League Cup are over, and the final four are Rangers, Dundee United, Hearts and Aberdeen. That’s right. Hearts.

Halloween League Cup quarters
By: Ian Rose |There are eight teams left in the CIS (aka Scottish League) Cup, and tomorrow night, as the little kids play dress-up-and-beg-for-tooth-decay, they will be wittled down to four. There are some familiar sides (like the top three in the SPL: Celtic, Rangers and Dundee United), some overachieving mid-range teams (like Aberdeen, Inverness and Motherwell [...]
