Alex Salmond has accused Nicola Sturgeon making a "bad gamble that hasn't paid off" after the Supreme Court rejected her plan for an IndyRef2 next year.
The former SNP leader claimed the Scottish Government should instead have passed legislation for a referendum on independence at Holyrood and forced Westminster to challenge it.
It comes after judges in London unanimously ruled the Scottish Parliament does not have the power to hold an IndyRef2 without the prior agreement of the UK Government.
