The then-First Minister told her Health Secretary she was “furious” about the document — just days before she praised it in public. The plan, meant to spark the service’s pandemic recovery, was later described by critics as a “flimsy pamphlet” while experts hit out over its “worrying gaps”.

He will run the line professionally on Saturday at Forfar Athletic versus Stirling Albion in League 2, his first outing since suffering torn ankle ligaments a year ago.

The plans would see the “protected characteristic” of sex - meaning women or men - added to legislation which has been fully in place for just over a year.

HOUSEHOLDS across Scotland were hit with the biggest council tax hike in decades back in April. Families living in all 32 local authorities were hammered with increases of up to 15.6 per cent. Typical bills soared by 9.6 per cent, and millions also faced a double whammy when water charges increased by 9.9 per cent. SNP-run Falkirk Council imposed the biggest hike of 15.61 per cent; however, many other councils also introduced double-digit rises.
