Party leader says it will be difficult to win Rutherglen and Hamilton West as Labour attacks ‘incompetent SNP government’
Humza Yousaf has downplayed the Scottish National party’s prospects of winning a key byelection on Thursday as he and his Labour rival traded insults over cuts to public services.
Yousaf, Scotland’s first minister, said he was hopeful the SNP would win the Rutherglen and Hamilton West byelection but said the contest had always been “challenging” and “difficult” for his party.
