The race to replace Humza Yousaf as the leader of the SNP continues, with no candidates having yet announced they are standing.

Former deputy first minister John Swinney and former finance secretary Kate Forbes have both been touted as potential candidates but have not yet confirmed they will stand.

Meanwhile, Humza Yousaf is expected to give his first interview since announcing his intention to stand down.

And later in the day, there will be a vote of no confidence in the Scottish government brought by Scottish Labour.

The vote is unlikely to pass without the support of the Greens, who called for it to be withdrawn after the first minister confirmed he would be stepping down.

The debate from the Scottish Parliament chamber can be watched from 2.50pm today
