List Of Scottish League Cup Winners
The Scottish League Cup, known as the Scottish Communities League Cup for commercial purposes, is a knockout cup competition in Scottish football, organised by and named after the Scottish Football League.
The competition was established in 1947, the format was taken from the Southern League Cup which operated as a regional tournament (national for its last season) during World War II. It is considered to be the second most important domestic cup competition in Scottish football, after the Scottish Cup. The competition is open to all 30 members of the Scottish Football League and the 12 members of the Scottish Premier League.
Rangers hold the record for most wins with 27 and the most final appearances with 34, Celtic are second with 14 wins and 28 appearances. The Cup is currently held by St. Mirren, who defeated Hearts 3–2 in the 2013 final. Since the Hearts v Kilmarnock final in the 1962-63 season, only seven of the 46 subsequent finals have involved neither of the 'Old Firm' teams Rangers and Celtic. Amongst the Old Firm themselves, when they are drawn together in earlier rounds of the League Cup it is extremely common for the victor to go on to win the whole competition. In 1973-74 Dundee defeated Celtic after The Hoops had beaten Rangers; however since then (7 occasions excluding finals) an Old Firm League Cup win for either club has always preceded success in the final.

“Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.”
—Janet Frame (b. 1924)

English and Scottish Ballads (The Poetry Bookshelf)
“He will deliver you from six troubles; in seven no harm shall touch you. In famine he will redeem you from death, and in war from the power of the sword. You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, and shall not fear destruction when it comes. At destruction and famine you shall laugh, and shall not fear the wild animals of the earth. For you shall be in league with the stones of the field, and the wild animals shall be at peace with you.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Job 5:19-23.
“It is surely easier to confess a murder over a cup of coffee than in front of a jury.”
