St Johnstone crashed out the Premier Sports Cup thanks to East Fife's dramatic stoppage-time equaliser, but Premiership rivals Dundee United squeezed through after Montrose blew their chance at home to Spartans. Montrose only required a point to progress to the last 16 as Group B winners, but the League 1 side lost 2-0 to visitors from the division below. Aberdeen, Ayr United, Kilmarnock, Ross County and Stenhousemuir join United and Caley Thistle as group winners. St Mirren will win Group C if they avoid defeat at home to Dunfermline Athletic. If Dunfermline win, they are guaranteed to go through as group winners or runners-up as they would have a better goal difference than Queen's Park.
