Scottish League Cup: Airdrieonians, Hibs and Spartans in big wins

Airdrieonians struck eight while Hibernian and The Spartans hit five each on a goal-laden second night of Premier Sports Cup group games.

Scottish Premiership side Hibs took their tally to 10 in two games since David Gray was made permanent head coach as they swept aside second-tier visitors Queen’s Park 5-1.

Fellow Edinburgh side The Spartans caused the biggest shock of the night as the League 2 team secured a convincing, five-goal win away to Cove Rangers from the division above.

Airdrieonians were 8-0 ahead of visiting Lowland League champions East Kilbride after only 53 minutes.

Meanwhile, another League 2 side caused a surprise as Forfar Athletic won 2-0 away to second-tier Dunfermline Athletic and League 1 outfit Montrose held top-flight visitors Motherwell to a draw.

Well took the bonus point in one of five games to go to a penalty shoot-out.
