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

Dundee United’s hopes of progressing from the group stages of the Scottish League Cup hang in the balance after they stunned 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 Lincs Park.

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

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

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