# When is the Scottish League Cup quarter-final draw

**Rangers take on St Mirren on Sunday at Ibrox in a “must-win” Scottish League Cup clash.**

Of course, all cup games have to be won, but this one takes on added importance given Rangers struggles so far this season.

A fifth competitive game without a victory would be unthinkable, as well as the League Cup exit that would come with it.

Derek McInnes needs his team to show reasons to believe, [he has called for action](https://readrangers.com/2026/08/16/derek-mcinnes-declares-need-for-rangers-action), but what he needs is a win.

Reigning cup winners St Mirren will come to Ibrox with other ideas.
