Falkirk v Aberdeen

Rob McLean introduces live coverage from the Scottish League Cup as Scottish Championship side Falkirk play host to Aberdeen of the Premiership.

Scottish Championship side Falkirk play host to Aberdeen of the Premiership with a place in the last eight at stake. Aberdeen's last trophy win was the Scottish League Cup in 1995 when they defeated Dundee 2-0 in the final with goals from Billy Dodds and Duncan Shearer.

Since then the Dons have suffered a number of Cup defeats to lower league opposition. Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes will be aiming to reverse that trend and put the League Cup back in the Pittodrie trophy cabinet.

However, this young Falkirk side, under the management of Gary Holt, will be hoping to create another shock. The Bairns have a good recent Cup pedigree. In 2012 they reached the semi-finals of this competition but lost to Celtic. And last season they made it to the Scottish Cup semi-finals, ultimately losing to Hibs 4-3 in extra-time, despite leading 3-0 after 45 minutes.

Plus a round-up of the previous night's matches - Celtic v Morton, Dundee v Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Hibernian v Stranraer and Hamilton v St Johnstone.

Introduced by Rob Maclean, with Peter Houston and Billy Dodds. Commentary from Liam McLeod and Steven Thompson.
