Morton visit Hibs. The last time these two clubs met in the League Cup, August 26th 2008, it was also Round Two, and it was also at Easter Road, and Morton won.
In preseason friendlies Hibs lost at Arbroath, and won in Dunfermline, Carlisle, and Newcastle.
In the League Cup group stage Hibs beat Alloa, Arbroath and Elgin City, and won a shootout against Stirling Albion. Their eleven points put them in the pot of seeded clubs.
To date in Premiership play they have beaten St Mirren and been trounced by Rangers. Hibs colts were knocked out of the first round of the Challenge Cup by Elgin.
Those two years that Morton and Hibs were both in the Championship Hibs won 3 times, Morton once, with 4 draws.
The oldest player on the Hibernian roster is Steven Whittaker, 35. He started out with Hibs and had stints with Rangers and Norwich City.
This will be the fifteenth time Morton have played Hibs since the Ton last played Hearts.
Morton have released goalkeeper Brendan Pearson and signed goalkeeper Danny Rogers on loan from Aberdeen.
