Livingston entered administration a few weeks before the final, with the players being informed the day before they won their semi-final match against Dundee.[1] Six players left the club immediately, but the first team squad was largely left intact ahead of the final.[1]
It was the first time since Hearts' 2–1 win over Rangers in the 1998 Scottish Cup Final that a team other than the Old Firm had won a trophy in Scotland,[2] and the first time the feat had been achieved in the League Cup since 1995 when Aberdeen beat Dundee 2–0.
