After 20 out of 73 constituency results in the Scottish Parliament election, the SNP have 17 seats, while Scottish Labour, the Scottish Conservatives and the Scottish Lib Dems each hold one.

The SNP’s share of the vote is around 40%, while Labour’s is around 19%, the Tories is around 16% and Reform UK’s is 16%.

The Liberal Democrats are on around 9% of the constituency vote.

One of the lighter moments of the day was when BBC Scotland presenter Martin Geissler pulled up former Scottish Tory leader Douglas Ross on his performance…as a linesman.

Mr Geissler asked fellow guest Bernard Ponsonby – former STV political editor and lifelong Celtic fan – what he thought of Mr Ross’s performance in the match between Hibs and Celtic at the weekend.

It’s a clear jibe given Mr Ross’s decision to rule a goal by Celtic as offside was overturned following a VAR review. When Mr Ponsonby replies saying ‘Thank goodness for VAR’, a sheepish Mr Ross adds: ‘That was my thought in fairness.’
