iainmac1 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Having a read of the wiki page it sounds decent. Like the idea of a penalty shoot out in drawn games for a bonus point. With these games starting in mid July the draw can't be too far after the end of the season. 8 groups of 5 teams. Does anyone know what the deal is with the groups? I'm guessing there will be some sort of seeding but will they be regionalised too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely seeded as Thistle know they won't have another Premier team in their group. That's about all they know though, so no idea yet if it's regionalised. That would make sense, but it is the SPFL we're talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motherwell Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 As there are 9 SPFL teams not in Europe, one of the groups will have two SPFL teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart_Aberdeen Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Is it home and away or just one or the other? Might try and get to a Cove home game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
