Humza Yousaf has pledged to take a different style of leadership from Nicola Sturgeon if he becomes the next First Minister.
The Health Secretary, one of three candidates vying to take the top job in Scottish politics, said he would adopt a "big tent" approach rather than rely on the "inner circle" used by the out-going SNP leader.
Yousaf distanced himself from Sturgeon during a leadership debate on LBC radio in Glasgow tonight as the Nationalists continued to deal with the fall-out of a dramatic weekend of resignations.
