So, the Scottish League Cup gets underway again in a few weeks time, and already there's mass confusion.
- Clyde's pitch is being relaid, so they're playing their home League Cup games at Hamilton's New Douglas Park instead.
- Similarly, there's work going on at Hampden so Queen's Park are having to play their "home" games for the first few weeks of the new season at Airdrie.
And wouldn't you just know it, Clyde, Airdrie, Hamilton and Queen's Park (plus Partick Thistle) were drawn in the same League Cup group. Which leads to such gems as Clyde hosting Airdrie at Hamilton, but having to travel to Airdrie to play Queen's Park.

As for the season itself, I'm struggling to work up any enthusiasm. My own club is managed by a complete spoofer who spent a fortune to take us into the relegation places for most of last season, being saved only by Falkirk and QoS's spectacular collapses at season's end. And that's without mentioning his bizarre ideas like having the team kidnapped by special forces, or running two club legends off the premises so he can try and sign up his over-the-hill former Scotland teammates instead.
