The draw for this season’s KDM Evolution Trophy – the traditional Challenge Cup – has just been made, and we will face The Spartans, Dundee B, Elgin City, Hibernian B, Dundee United B and Forfar Athletic over the next four months. Of those, only the Elgin game will be away from home.

The revamped format mirrors the set-up introduced for the European tournaments last season, with the first stage a league consisting of thirty teams from Leagues One and Two, and ten Premiership B sides.

Each plays six matches with the top twenty-two moving on to the knockout phase, joining those from the Championship.

The draw was regionalised with Cove Rangers in Pot A, and our opponents came from Pots B and C.

Further details about all the fixtures will be published in due course.
