Alex Salmond, the Alba Party leader, told BBC Scotland’s Sunday Show: “He has stabbed David Duguid in the back in the most reprehensible manner.
“I’ve never seen anything like it and neither has the north east of Scotland and he is going to get his comeuppance.”

“I continue to be fully focussed on my rehabilitation and making great progress daily.”
