Who have Dundee United got in the Premier Sports cup?
Will this be the year we finally take this cup seriously?
Dundee United have been drawn alongside Arbroath, Montrose, The Spartans, and Stirling Albion in the Premier Sports Cup.
United were the second team drawn from pot one to head up Group B.
United’s first competitive fixture of the season will take place on the weekend of July 11 and 12, with venues and TV selections to be confirmed by the SPFL.
The rest of the group matches will be completed across July 14/15, July 18/19, July 21/22 and July 25/26.
While European ties meant United skipped the group stage last season, they were immediately knocked out by Kilmarnock in a 2-1 defeat at Rugby Park.
The club’s most return trip to Hampden in the League Cup was in 2015, where they lost 2-0 to Celtic in the final.
Since then, they have not progressed past the quarter finals.
Some optimistic dates for the diary
If United progress from the group stages, the second round will be held on the weekend of August 15 and 16.
The quarter final will be held the weekend of September 12/13, the semi-final will take place on the weekend of October 31/November 1, and the final will take place on Sunday, December 13.
