The group stage for the 2026/27 Premier Sports Cup has been drawn,
Last season's winners St Mirren will take on East Kilbride following their promotion from the Lowland League in 2024-25, while Neil Lennon's Dunfermline, who featured at Hampden Park last season in the Scottish Cup final, have also been drawn in Group C.
The eight group winners and three best runners-up will progress to the knockout phase where they'll be joined by the five Scottish teams partaking in UEFA competitions.
