Ash Regan has said she is ready to “hit the ground running” if she wins the race to succeed Nicola Sturgeon after a meeting with Scotland’s top civil servant.

The same offer has been made to all three candidates - although it is unclear if Kate Forbes or Humza Yousaf will meet with the head of the civil service in Scotland.
