The SNP leader will be quizzed by MSPs today at her final session of FMQs
The out-going SNP leader will be quizzed by MSPs from noon at her last session of FMQs before she formally stands down next week.
The race to succeed her as SNP leader ends at noon on Monday with a winner set to be announced that afternoon. Sturgeon faced her first FMQs as SNP leader the day after she succeeded Alex Salmond in November 2014. But the race to succeed her has opened up serious divisions within the SNP and led to a number of high-profile figures standing down, including her husband Peter Murrell.Although she has not formally endorsed a candidate to succeed her, nearly all her senior party colleagues have backed Yousaf.
