Derek Mackay has denied he was the only one to blame for the botched construction of two CalMac ferries at a Clyde shipyard.
The former SNP minister - who quit government in disgrace in 2020 - was quizzed by MSPs today over his role in handing a multi-million pound contract to the Ferguson Marine yard in Port Glasgow.
Appearing at Holyrood for the first time since his resignation, Mackay admitted there had been a "catastrophic failure" at the shipyard - but denied the contract award was politically motivated.
