The revamped IRN-BRU Cup kicks off tonight, with the draw for the second round taking place at Hampden on Thursday, time to be confirmed.
This season sees the introduction of Premiership Colt teams, and four sides from both the Highland and Lowland Leagues, with two clubs from Northern Ireland and two from Wales entering in round four.
The competition began life as the Centenary Cup in 1990/91 and was won by Dundee in the first season. Rangers are the current holders following their 4-0 victory over Peterhead in April.
