Drawliveat Dens Park

The draw for the second round of the Betfred Cup will be made at Dens Park tomorrow and shown live on BT Sport 1.

The eight seeded clubs will be European entrants Celtic, Aberdeen, Rangers and St Johnstone along with the four group winners with the best records.

If clubs are level on points at the end of the group stage the criteria for separating them is 1) goal difference, 2) goals scored, 3) away goals scored, 4) matches won, 5) away matches won, 6) drawing of lots.

Dundee and United are likely to be in the draw whatever the result is in the derby. One of them was a cup tie at Dens. Then we played them here and someone got sent off – I think it was Gary Irvine. And they scored in the last minute through Michael Gardyne to make it 1-1.

“I enjoyed them. It’s a different ball game this time around obviously because I’m on the other side.

“I’m from the area – half of my mates are Dundee fans and half are United. So I get it from both sides.

“It’s special because I know what it means to the city and the fans.

“Bragging rights are for the supporters. Guys like Cammy Kerr and Craig Wighton on their side know like me and Scott Fraser what it means to the supporters. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a massive game for the players as well but it’s just another massive game.”

Progression to the next round of the Betfred Cup could already be guaranteed for both sides by the time they kick off, but who finishes top of the group isn’t the be all and end all in this fixture.

“We want to finish top of the group and be seeded for the last 16,” said Toshney.

“But of course it’s about more than the Betfred Cup. The club need this win and the fans want to get the bragging rights back that I talked about.
