The group stage of the Betfred Cup concludes this weekend, with the draw for the last 16 taking place on Sunday...

Group B
Ross County are already through to the last 16 as group winners with a 100% record and Forfar Athletic could join them if they beat St Johnstone at Station Park. Brechin City and Montrose meet in an Angus derby at Glebe Park.

Group C
Hibernian lead the way and face Elgin City at Borough Briggs on Friday night, live on BT Sport. Elgin will join Hibs on the eight-point mark if they pull off a shock win. Arbroath are second and could qualify if they beat Alloa Athletic at Gayfield.

Group G
Livingston top the section and will expect to beat struggling Berwick Rangers at the Tony Macaroni Arena. A home win for Ayr United against Stranraer should also be enough to take Ian McCall's men through.
