A new opinion poll conducted after Humza Yousaf became First Minister shows the SNP could be set to lose 18 seats at the next Holyrood election.
The Sevanta survey shows the best results for any opposition party and the worst for the SNP since 2016, and points to the potential of a hung parliament.
If the forecast becomes a reality, the SNP would have 46 seats, with Labour on 42. The Tories would have 24 MSPs, the Greens 10 and the Lib Dems seven, reports the Scottish Daily Express.
