Ross County are appearing in the Scottish League Cup Final, presented by Utilita, for the first time when they play Hibernian on Sunday.

Jim McIntyre's men beat holders Celtic 3-1 in the semi-finals, having already knocked out Ayr United, Falkirk and Inverness Caley Thistle.

Ross County's first League Cup tie was against Queen's Park on Wednesday August 10, 1994 when they won 3-2 at Victoria Park before losing to Raith Rovers in round two.

Prior to this season, the Staggies' best run in the tournament was the quarter-finals. In 1998/99, as a Third Division club, they shocked Dundee United 2-0 after extra time before losing to Hearts on penalties after a 1-1 draw at Tynecastle.

In 2001/02, by which time Ross County were in Division One, they gained revenge against Hearts with a shoot-out win in Dingwall following a 0-0 draw then beat Dundee 2-1 before losing 2-1 to Rangers in the last eight.

Sunday's game is the second meeting between Hibernian and Ross County in the League Cup - Hibs won the first 2-0 in Dingwall last season thanks to a double from Dom Malonga.
