The 2013–14 Scottish League Cup was the 68th season of Scotland's second-most prestigious football knockout competition.

Format

The competition is a single elimination knock-out competition. In each round, fixtures are determined by random draw, with the first to third rounds seeded according to last season's league positions (higher 50% of finishers drawn v lower 50% of finishers, alternating which is at home with each tie drawn).

Fixtures are played to a finish, with extra time and then penalties used in the event of draws. The competition is open to all clubs in the Scottish Professional Football League. Clubs involved in European competitions are given a bye to the third round in order to avoid congestion of fixtures.

First round: All 30 sides from the previous season's Scottish Football League enter including Partick Thistle.{{Cite web |url=http://www.scottishfootballleague.com/football/league-cup/format/ |title=Format |access-date=11 July 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110921003024/http://www.scottishfootballleague.com/football/league-cup/format/ |archive-date=21 September 2011 |url-status=dead }}
