Martin Compston has hailed Nicola Sturgeon as "the most capable politician in the UK of the last decade", following her resignation.
The First Minister announced this morning that she was stepping down after eight years in office, telling the nation that her "decision comes from a deeper and longer-term assessment."
Line of Duty star Compston has been vocal in his support for independence and took to Twitter to pay tribute to the outgoing Ms Sturgeon.
