Gillingham have been seeded for next week's Capital One Cup first round draw.

That means the Gills will avoid relegated Premier League clubs Burnley, Hull and QPR and the rest of the Championship including Charlton Athletic - as well as local rivals Millwall.

Justin Edinburgh's side could meet Conference champions Barnet or play-off winners Bristol Rovers, while their League 1 rivals Colchester, Coventry, Doncaster and Oldham are among the other unseeded teams.

The draw takes place at 10am on Tuesday, June 16 and we'll have details right here on www.kentonline.co.uk/sport.

Gillingham reached the second round of last season's competition, winning 2-1 away to Yeovil before losing 1-0 to Premier League giants Newcastle at Priestfield.
