Well, that's another exciting Scottish League Cup round out of the way, thank God.  Note that we're refusing to call it by it's proper name, the somewhat long-winded Co-Operative Insurance Cup, because it sounds a little vague and doesn't convey any of the weight and gravitas that a domestic Cup competition ought to bring with [.
