Nicola Sturgeon and Scots singer Lulu pose for selfie at Glasgow event

Scots singer Lulu has posted a selfie with First Minister Nicola Sturgeon as the pair turned out to an event to support a pal of theirs.

The unlikely duo posed for a selfie at the launch of Young Mungo, the brand new book by their mate Douglas Stuart.

The event which was held in Glasgow on Thursday night, saw the Scots writer release his brand new novel, following the success of his previous book Shuggie Bain.

And Lulu shared the snap to her 26.1k Instagram followers and wrote: " Two fans of Douglas Stuart at his book launch of Young Mungo in Glasgow last night. @nicolasturg eon @douglas_stuart #firstministerofscotland #youngmungo Scots forever."

And the First Minister also shared the snap saying she was delighted to meet the legend.

She wrote: " Lovely meeting the legend that is Lulu last night at. the @ayewriteglasgow event to welcome Shuggie Bain author and @thebookerprizes winner @douglas_stuart home to Glasgow - and mark publication of his new novel, Young Mungo."

And many fans were loving the picture.

One wrote: " Nicola lovely photo with Lulu amazing."

Another added: "Nic, Lulu and Douglas Stuart... What an incredible trio of Scottish talent."

While one said: "Absolutely lovely two of my fav ladies."

And another added: "Brilliant photo of you both."

Speaking previously about his book, Douglas said his new novel "comes from a personal place".

He said: "It's a story about two young men. Writing Shuggie asked me a question. It asked me about Shuggie's sexuality, it asked me about what we did to young men, working class men, what we expect of them, how we hurt them, as we do.

"And I couldn't answer that in this book... so I wanted to go away and look at two teenage boys growing up in 1991 in the East End of Glasgow, one of the most deprived neighbourhoods like I grew up in myself, and just sort of think about masculinity in that way.

"So these two boys are divided by territorial gangs, scheme gangs, but they fall in love across the divide.
