First Minister Humza Yousaf has appointed Fiona Hyslop as transport minister and expanded the role of the environment secretary to include the brief.
Last week, former transport minister Kevin Stewart announced he would be stepping down due to his mental health, with transport bodies urging Yousaf to return the transport brief to a full cabinet position.
In an announcement due for parliamentary approval on Tuesday, Hyslop - who boasts 14 years of cabinet experience, but has been on the back benches since the last election - will take on the role.
