The eight group winners and three best runners-up will Scotland's five European entrants - Celtic, Rangers, Aberdeen, Hibernian and Dundee United - in the last 16 on the weekend of 16-17 August.

Livingston, who will return to the top flight next season after beating Ross County in the Premiership play-off final, won the League Cup in 2004 and finished as runners-up four years ago.

We asked for your views on Livingston's return to the Scottish Premiership after the play-off victory over Ross County.

Here's what some of you said:

Andy: Looked a far better team this season, particularly in the run-in and the play-offs. Ross County were poor across two legs and felt it would've been harsh for us to not secure promotion. Delighted for David Martindale and the team, hopefully we can kick on now and keep some of the quality in the side.

Brian: Fantastic second-half performance from Livi Lions, deserved victory after all the hard work over the season. Back in the Premiership at the first time of asking, superb!

Kevin: Well done lads from a long-time er from the south coast of England. What a great comeback!

Del: Too much is made of the artificial pitch, artificial pitches are the future in Scottish weather conditions, wake up SPFL. Good players and a good manager got his tactics spot on. Calvin Ford give Davie the he needs and he'll take Livingston into Europe. Don't you just love fans telling Livi what they want from us and how we should play, no doubt in a manner that allows you to maximise your chances of winning. Davie points out he has the lowest budget because it's true and that leads to a necessary way of playing.

Livingston are back where they belong after overcoming Ross County in the play-off final to seal a Premiership return, says defender Danny Wilson.

Wilson headed the leveller in Dingwall as David Martindale's side superbly fought back from two down to triumph 4-2 and climb out of the Championship at the first attempt with a 5-3 aggregate success.

"I didn't think we deserved to be two behind. We started the game fairly well then shot ourselves in the foot," Wilson told BBC Scotland.

"But we showed great character, and what a goal by Lewis Smith to get us back in the game. That came at a really important time and settled us before half-time.

"Over the two legs we are deserving to be back in the Premiership. A lot of things get thrown at us – but we believe we're a good team. We've shown that over the course of these play-offs.

"The Premiership is a place the club deserves to be. We've had a difficult season but we've built and built as the campaign went on.

"We can look forward with real optimism for this team."

Livi stalwart Scott Pittman is relishing being back in the top flight at the age of 32.

"Delighted. It's been a long, hard season and we pushed Falkirk all the way. To get promoted and have the [Challenge] Cup win as well, it's been a great season," said Pittman.

"We've grown in confidence as the season's gone on and got better and better. We can take that into next season.

"Promotion was the goal at the start of the season and it's great to achieve it. I'm not getting any younger so it's just great to be back in the top flight."

Livingston are back in the Scottish Premiership at the first time of asking after their heroic play-off comeback against Ross County.

We want your views on Livi's success this season - and whether they can hold their own in the top fight next term.
