The by-election is taking place in the Rutherglen and Hamilton West constituency.
Scotland’s First Minister has said he remains “hopeful” of an SNP win in a key by-election next week.
It is expected to be an important battleground ahead of the UK general election, which is expected next year, with the SNP’s Katy Loudon taking on Labour’s Michael Shanks.
Mr Yousaf conceded that the context of the by-election has been “challenging” but said there is strong support for the SNP. Ms Loudon said the SNP is fighting a good campaign and the by-election is an opportunity for people to send a strong message to Westminster.
