The senior Nationalist is under pressure regarding his use of official limos to attend Aberdeen and Scotland games.
Neil Gray has been accused of making a “false statement” to the Scottish Parliament around the documentation of meetings at football matches he attended in official limos.
In November, Gray, an Aberdeen supporter, said it is legitimate for ministers to attend sporting events and he will continue to do so. First Minister John Swinney has said he considers the matter “closed” and others in the SNP have defended Gray. He asked the Presiding Officer Alison Johnstone: “What powers do you have as presiding officer to sanction a member who has evidentially made a false statement to this chamber?”
