Free agent strikers, Kamberi's Hibs struggles, sexy Motherwell, Mckay is back, former Rangers midfielder impresses - Winners and Losers from the Betfred Cup weekend

We are a step closer to discovering which teams will reach the knockout stages of the League Cup. As ever, a few of the country's bigger sides have had their struggles. Scroll through to find out the winners and losers.

.

St Johnstone chairman Steve Brown will have seen his side slip to defeat to Ross County and realise Tommy Wright's need for reinforcements. The budget, he has said, is spent. He will have to find more pennies somewhere.

Once one of the most respected strikers in the top flight, he has gained a 'relegator' tag due to his involvement in Dundee United, Inverness CT's and Ross County's relegations. He seems to have found his goalscoring boots once more.

When Chris Kane raced through on goal against Ross County there was an inevitability about the end product: A miss. He was subbed not long after and manager Tommy Wright confirmed the need for a striker.

As of yet there doesn't seem to be a certain starter to lead the Motherwell attack. The promising Scott scored one and got in good positions in the 4-0 win over Greenock Morton.

What better way to celebrate a new deal than with a 4-0 win? This is Robinson's third team at Fir Park and they look exciting.

Motherwell, not that long ago, had a certain reputation. It still sticks for some. However, going by the win over Morton they will be exciting and entertaining this season with pace and trickery in the wide areas.
