The SNP is not ruling out working with Scottish Labour in council chambers across the country following the election earlier this week.
Kirsten Oswald, the SNP 's deputy Westminster leader, said the nationalists are open to deals with progressive parties in town halls but said no agreements would be made with the Tories.
However, Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar reiterated his pre-election stance by saying no formal agreements would be made with other parties.
