Montrose stun Dundee Utd as Ayr shock Falkirk in Scottish League Cup groups


Dundee United’s hopes of progressing from the Scottish League Cup group stage are in the balance after they were stunned by third-tier Montrose.

Jim Goodwin’s top-flight side, who needed a stoppage-time penalty to beat Stirling Albion on Saturday, were undone by a first-half goal from Graham Webster at Links Park.

Fellow Premiership club Falkirk were also on the receiving end of a shock result as Kevin Holt earned second-tier Ayr United a victory away to John McGlynn’s men.

McGlynn’s team, who missed a penalty, started their group campaign with a 5-0 win at Edinburgh City last weekend but now sit second behind Ayr in Group G.

Meanwhile, there were victories for Stephen Robinson’s new-look Aberdeen, Dundee and St Johnstone, but Kilmarnock were held by Raith Rovers before claiming a bonus point from a penalty shootout.
