Last updated on .From the section ArbroathDick Campbell's side have started their League Cup campaign with two winsMany clubs are short-changing sponsors by using the Scottish League Cup as a pre-season warm-up, Arbroath manager Dick Campbell has complained. The SPFL-run competition, this season called the Premier Sports Cup, has had a group stage for six seasons. "I actually feel sorry for the sponsors of the League Cup tournament because it's good money clubs are getting," Campbell told BBC Radio Scotland. Campbell would prefer League Cup games to be played in midweeks once the league season has started - and to start in August. Campbell also disagrees with the rule that bars clubs from using trialists in the League Cup as pre-season friendlies had previously allowed them to better assess potential signings.
