notes
  • 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw. Drawn matches were to be concluded with a penalty shoot-out, the winner of which would earn a bonus point. Teams finishing level on points were placed in order of superior goal difference, then by goals scored.
  • Scotland's 5 European representatives were given a bye, and 3 non-League teams were included in the tournament. The 40 teams were seeded to ensure that top teams and lesser teams were drawn against each other across the 8 groups. 8 group winners and the 3 best runners up advanced to the round of 16 single-legged knockout phase, where they were joined by the 'big 5'.
  • Table figures per spfl.co.uk, with the data integrity verified by The Thistle Archive.
  • For the 16th time out of 43 (1946-47 to date) Thistle win their League Cup group, and progress to the 2nd Round (R2). It's the 18th time qualified.
  • For the first time since 2016, it's a 100% win rate in the group stages of the league cup for Partick Thistle. It's only the 3rd time in history Thistle have done such a thing, the first occurrence being 1975. As a bonus, the strong goal difference ensures that the Jags qualify as one of the three best group winners and are seeded for the 2nd Round draw.
