If the same as last season tho' we wont know in what order/dates we'll be playing the teams we draw for another week or 3 after that.
I presume it'll be regionalised again and that teams who qualified fro Europe wont be in the group stage.

Same format as last season, unsure about the 2 non league teams, most likely to be Buckie Thistle and East Kilbride, not sure how the teams will be regionalised, considering there are most South based teams in Scotland

It's winners of highland league and lowland league so east Kilbride and buckie thistle
It is regonalised north east and South West
3 pots so the pots are split evenly between each region hence Dumbarton ending in the north group last season
Each group has 5 teams 1 from pot 1 1 from pot 2 3 from pot 3
3 points for a win 1 point for a draw If a game finishes a draw it's straight to a pen shootout with a bonus point for the winner
Top team from each group goes through plus 4 best runners up plus the 4 teams involved in Europe who don't take part in the group stages

The top flight teams in the group stage are; Hearts, Patrick Th, Ross County, Kilmarnock, Dundee, Motherwell, Hamilton Accies, and Inverness/Hibernian.
Both Hibs and ICT depends on if the SPFL use the league tables for next season or the season that has just been.
Second pot teams would be; Inverness/Hibernian, Falkirk, Dundee United, Morton, Dunfermline, Queen of the South, St Mirren and Dumbarton

I'd quite fancy either Accies or Well at home, St. Mirren away plus Edinburgh City at home and East Kilbride away so that'll not happen!

Would take Partick, St Mirren, EK and Clyde, but knowing the Rovers luck, they'll get hit with Stranraer and Berwick and both will end up being away
