Ian Blackford has denied the SNP faces a cash crisis amid reports the party's falling membership has stretched its finances to breaking point.
The MP for Skye and Lochaber spoke out following a meeting of the Nationalists' executive council yesterday which warned of the need to raise funds to fight a possible by-election in Rutherglen.
The SNP is also facing mounting legal costs as Police Scotland continues a long-running investigation into the party's finances.
