Who will Dundee FC face in the Premier Sports Cup group stage?
Dundee will kick off the 2025/26 season with a kind draw in the Premier Sports Cup group stage.
The 2024/25 campaign is barely over and the Dark Blues are yet to find a replacement for the sacked Tony Docherty.
Preparations for the new season are already under way, however, and the challenge to begin the new manager's reign has been revealed after the Premier Sports Cup group stage draw.
Last season Dundee were knocked out at the quarter-final stage with defeat at Rangers after setting a goalscoring record in the group stage.
The Dark Blues have reached the last eight in three of the last four campaigns but haven't gone beyond that stage since 2003/04.
Kicking off in July, top seeds Dundee will face Airdrieonians, Alloa Athletic, Montrose and Bonnyrigg Rose in Group C.
The Dark Blues have met Championship Airdrie in the League Cup in each of the last two seasons, winning 6-1 in the last 16 last term.
They haven't faced League One Alloa in the competition since 1999 when Willie Falconer and James Grady goals earned a 3-1 win while they could line up against former Dee Craig Wighton at third-tier Montrose.
Last season saw the Dee kick off 2024/25 at recently-relegated Bonnyrigg Rose, winning 7-1.
The 2025/26 Premier Sports Cup will kick off on the weekend of July 12/13, with further group stage matchdays on July 15/16, July 19/20, July 22/23 and July 26/27.

'Dundee's off-pitch unpredictably never fails to deliver'
Dundee's unpredictability both on and off the pitch never fails to stun the football world.'Elvis' has entered the building and his reception is far from ideal from the Dundee support. The overriding feeling is Steven Pressley's appointment doesn't inspire confidence as his record is littered with sackings, and losing more games than he has won, before a six-year hiatus from Tony Docherty was dismissed for underperforming, supporters were expecting a statement appointment or perhaps something left-field with names like Temur Ketsbaia and David Healy there is more to Pressley than meets the eye. He ticks boxes that align with the role of head coach compared to the traditional football is experienced with over 340 matches as a manager and enjoyed a successful period in his last stint in Scotland with Falkirk. He has a proven track record in youth development, notably at Falkirk, where he helped develop Murray Wallace, Jay Fulton, Lyle Taylor and Stephen recently he was in the Premier League with Brentford, developing players to fit a very good team at the elite level - working with those standards at Dundee will hold him in good reputation among the players he's coached also seems positive. and Pressley appears well respected within the industry. He emerged as the standout candidate for both John Nelms and Gordon Strachan for good head coach model might very well prove to be a masterstroke. When you reflect on previous managers, a recurring theme emerges - flawed decision-making in recruitment and squad Hartley chucked away Martin Boyle, Jim McAlister and Gary Harkins, all on frees when they all still had so much to offer. The replacements weren't near the appropriate McCann had no plan B, while his foreign imports clearly required time they did not have to adjust to the Scottish McPake allowed both Leigh Griffiths and Jason Cummings to depart during a relegation battle, while remaining fiercely loyal to players out of their Docherty couldn't balance the young squad with experienced players and left us very light up front (Simon Murray is our only contracted forward).If Strachan, David Longwell and the recruitment team can take a weight off Pressley's shoulders and allow him to focus solely on getting results on the pitch, then this model will be an interesting development to watch fans are fickle. If Pressley gets off to a winning start he will win over his doubters. While they are upset at his winning record, they're also desperate for the new head coach to mend that with is hungry and has a point to prove. The fans will be satisfied once they can see this new set-up walking the walk instead of talking the talk. In other words, a little less conversation, a little more action please.

Steve Cooper targeted for shock return to management eight months after being sacked by Leicester
COOP D'ETAT Steve Cooper targeted for shock return to management eight months after being sacked by Leicester Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) STEVE COOPER tops the list of managerial targets Middlesbrough want to replace Michael Carrick. The Championship side announced on Wednesday that the ex-Manchester United and England midfielder had been axed. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Steve Cooper has been linked with a shock return to management with Middlesbrough 2 Michael Carrick was sacked by Boro this week Carrick, 43, and his assistants Jonathan Woodgate and Graeme Carrick - his younger brother - have also departed the club. That decision was made by chairman Steve Gibson following a four-week end-of-season review by the club's hierarchy after their dismal second half of the campaign. Carrick, who was the division's longest-serving manager, led Boro from the 21st in the table in October 2022 to the play-offs. That was followed by an eighth-placed finish and a run to the League Cup semi-finals but, despite a positive first half of this season, they eventually ended a disappointing tenth.

SunSport understands that Cooper, out of work since he was sacked following a brief and ill-fated stint at Leicester in November, is among the top candidates Boro want to speak with. He shone in the Championship at Swansea City by leading them to consecutive play-off finishes. And he surpassed that at Nottingham Forest, achieving legendary status by guiding them back to the Premier League via the play-offs in 2022. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Cooper was axed in December 2023 and replaced by Nuno Espirito Santo. Ex-Bournemouth and Wolves manager Gary O'Neil, who spent four years as a player at the Riverside, is another name among the favourites along with former Luton man Rob Edwards. Middlesbrough fans will agree with Carrick sacking and there's a perfect man ready to replace him

Potential St Johnstone advantage for cup clash revealed as East Kilbride boss hails Simo Valakari
The manager of St Johnstone's first opponents of next season has spoken of his admiration for Perth head coach, Simo Valakari. SPFL new boys, East Kilbride, will host Saints in the Premier Sports Cup opener on Saturday, July 12. Their boss, Mick Kennedy, is a fan of the Finn's footballing principles. And he's excited about the prospect of going head to head with the McDiarmid Park side next month. 'St Johnstone is a massive game to kick us off after getting into the SPFL,' said Kennedy. 'I know they had an unsuccessful season and had a new manager come in, but I have a lot of admiration for Simo Valakari in terms of how his side plays. 'He is trying to implement a possession-based style of play so I think that will make for a good game between us. 'We will go to try and win all the games, and we'll certainly show no fear.' Raith Rovers, Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Elgin City are the other sides in Group F. And Saints may have an advantage in getting East Kilbride, who were promoted into League Two through the play-offs, first. 'We will try and get one friendly in before the cup starts but that will be our pre-season,' said Kennedy, who guided his team to SPFL Trust Trophy victories over Airdrie and Ayr United last season. 'Because we finished a lot later than the SPFL teams and the boys needed their break we need to use the competition as our pre-season.'
