Douglas Ross must answer 'serious' questions says Scottish First Minister John Swinney
Scottish First Minister John Swinney has said Douglas Ross must answer 'serious' questions over claims he used expenses for travel to his referee job and said his position as Scottish Tory leader was undermined by his decision to seek election at Westminster.
Mr Ross came under fire after he announced his candidacy in Aberdeenshire North and Moray East constituency last week after Mr Duguid was blocked over health concerns.
Mr Duguid had hoped to contest the seat, which replaced his previous Banff and Buchan constituency and part of Mr Rosss former Moray seat under new boundary rules.
But he is currently unwell in hospital and said the partys membership board had de-selected him as a candidate.
Scotlands First Minister John Swinney has been among the critics of Mr Ross, accusing the Scottish Tory leader, who is also an MSP in Holyrood, of naked self-interest.
