With one round of fixtures remaining in the Premier Sports Cup group stage, several Scottish Premiership teams face elimination.

The eight group winners and three best second-place sides will advance to the last 16, joining Celtic, Rangers, Hearts, Hibernian, and Motherwell.

In Group A, Aberdeen needs a draw against Kelty Hearts to secure first place, while Queen's Park could advance with a win. Dundee United tops Group B, but Montrose could overtake them with a win or draw. Group C sees St Mirren and Dunfermline competing for progression; Dunfermline must win by three goals to top the group, while St Mirren only needs a draw or win. Ross County leads Group D and can guarantee first place with a win, though Dundee and Clyde also have qualification possibilities. Partick Thistle in Group E is likely to progress unless they finish second and other results are heavily in favor of their rivals. St Johnstone in Group F must defeat East Fife to keep their hopes alive, while Inverness and East Fife also have chances. Ayr United has already won Group G, and no other team can qualify. In Group H, Kilmarnock can top their group with a draw or win against Peterhead, while Hamilton needs a significant win to challenge for the top spot.
