He was also the man in the middle for Hibs' 2-0 win over Elgin City at Borough Briggs in the group stages.
Clancy, 35, has reffed just one other League Cup game involving Hearts - their group match with Dundee United earlier this summer, which saw the Jambos win a bonus point on penalties.
He will be backed up by assistant referees Frank Connor and Sean Carr, with Greg Aitken named fourth official.
