Thirteen clubs have agreed to take part in this season’s under-19 League Cup competition with the tournament split into two geographical regions with the sides playing each other home and away.
Holders Hamilton Accies will not be defending the trophy they won last year when they beat Forfar 5-2 in the Final as the seven teams that will compete in the West section are Airdrieonians, Ayr United, Celtic, Clyde, Dumbarton, Queen of the South and Queens Park.
The top two will move forward to the semi-finals with the winners playing the runners up from the east section and vice versa.
The East section includes Arbroath, Cowdenbeath, Dundee, East Fife, Forfar and Stirling Albion.
