Hibs will face Dundee, Forfar Athletic, Brora Rangers and Cove Rangers in the group stages of this season’s Betfred Cup
Former Hibs’ manager Alan Stubbs made the draw which took place at 1pm today and was streamed live by the SPFL.
Hearts were also in the same seeded pot as Hibs therefore there was no chance of an Edinburgh derby.
Hearts will face Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Cowdenbeath, Raith Rovers and East Fife.
Edinburgh City will face Livingston, Alloa, Stenhousemuir and Airdrie.
Group stage games are scheduled for October 6, 10 & 13, and November 10 & 14, subject to live TV selections.
