Ministerial cars are not “free taxis to the football”, Scottish Conservative leader Russell Findlay said as he hit out at Health Secretary Neil Gray.
Mr Gray has been under pressure after it emerged he had attended three games of Aberdeen FC – the team he supports – at Hampden by invitation of the Scottish Football Association, and was chauffeured there in an official vehicle.
The Health Secretary is expected to make a statement at Holyrood on the issue on Thursday afternoon, but has been defended by colleagues including Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes.
