This tournament is a farce. It is so heavily weighed in favour of Premiership clubs that it would be a disgrace if any of them dont make it out of the group.

..which happens all the time under normal circumstances. Part time clubs and lower division full timers can catch top tier clubs cold and/or not fully prepared at the start of the season. It's as Dick D mentions the premier clubs have a great advantage this season (3/4 season) as they'll be at full match fitness.

Morton voted for us at the last vote. 

A lot of clubs changed their vote for the final flurry as they knew perfectly well that reconstruction was not going to happen.  (Imo.)  Morton were one of them. Dunfermline another.  Both previously  dead set against reconstruction.  One of my unpleasant memories of the Bad Friday vote and its aftermath was one Dave MacKinnon (remember him?) sticking the knife in with his "The silent majority" voting to end the season quote.  

Their chairman was also rather outspoken in that period.

So no, I'm not really impressed by their late change of stance.

Nah! Use them to get fit for the League campaign. 

Would normally disagree with this due to punters paying hard earned cash however due to non crowds I fully agree.  Treat them as pre season as league is priority (plus we all know its the Scottish Cup for us this season).

The entire club - board, management, squad, fans - need to have a positive and winning attitude from the off.

Exactly and pretty much every team in that group voted against us and their fans laughed at our predicament (queens park excepted. No excuses expect our manager and players to be at them from the off

Think they will be using Hampden whilst work is finished on lesser Hampden 

Yes, Lesser Hampden isn't up to scratch yet. Work was already to be delayed before the pandemic because Hampden was to be used for Euro 2020. Assume that the work is going ahead now.

Except maybe Aberdeen
