Nominations for a new leader of the SNP open today. Nicola Sturgeon will put her name forward this morning, and trigger a contest for the deputy leadership which she currently holds.

Any party member wishing to stand against her has three weeks - until 4pm on the 15th of October - to declare. A valid nomination needs to be endorsed by 100 party members from at least 20 local branches.

Ballot papers will be sent out to all party members on 22 October, to be returned by 12 November. The outcome will be announced at the SNP conference in Perth at midday on Thursday, 13 November. The deputy leadership race will run to the same timetable.

The 26,000 new members the SNP has recruited since the independence referendum will be entitled to vote, as long as they signed up before today.

Alan Cameron from Aberdeen wrote: John Wilson, the SNP list MSP for Central Scotland ,seems to have a problem with democracy.

His own party passed a lengthy resolution accepting or seeking membership of NATO - in the event of Independence.

If one cannot accept the argument, vote and decision of the majority in his own party then he along with the others should simply resign their seats and make way for those those young people who " move up" and are just waiting in the wings.

The Scottish Daily Mail says Prime Minister David Cameron will apologise to the Queen after being recorded commenting on her reaction to the referendum result.

The Prime Minister, overheard by waiting camera crews while in conversation with ex-New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, said he had "never heard someone so happy" at the result.

Labour leader Ed Miliband has been speaking to the Today programme about his vision to the future of the UK. He said the level of support for independence in Scotland was part of a wider problem, saying: "People believe this country works for a small elite at the top and doesn't work for most people."

Speaking about his speech at Labour party conference yesterday, he added: "What we presented yesterday was a plan to deal with these issues."

This morning's Daily Record looks at yesterday's post-referendum debate, saying rivals have pledged to work together to secure new powers for Holyrood.

It also carries a story with former first minister Henry McLeish commenting on the "crisis" in Scottish Labour.

The Herald runs with Lord Smith's comments on the debate over more powers for the Scottish Parliament.

The paper says Lord Smith, who is chairing a commission into further powers, has told parties to compromise to reach a deal.

Mr Kerevan says the main focus for the SNP in the short term will be securing more powers for the Scottish Parliament.

He said: "The immediate battleground is securing what Gordon Brown has promised us and that is home rule.

"Home rule is not just a bit more devolution, home rule means what it says on the tin. It means we get to control domestic affairs. I think if there is a retreat by the Labour Party in Scotland on that, there will be a massive popular upsurge."

George Kerevan has also raised the prospect of the party choosing more than one deputy, to cover both Holyrood and Westminster.

He said: "I think there is a case for saying. probably the SNP at this stage of the game, needs more than one deputy."

Bill Jamieson, former executive editor of The Scotsman, told Good Morning Scotland that the race for Deputy Leader of the SNP was a chance for younger blood to come through.

"There is no lack of candidates that would make a good deputy for Nicola. Fergus Ewing, of course has got lots of experience, Mike Russell, Richard Lochhead, Humza Yousaf would also be candidates potentially."

He also said the party may look to Westminster for a deputy leader, given London's role in debating what new powers the Scottish Parliament should have.

"There is some strong candidates there," he added. "Stewart Hosie would be one, Angus Robertson another. It's quite an open field for her deputy."

Journalist George Kerevan has been speaking to Good Morning Scotland about Nicola Sturgeon's leadership of the SNP.

He told the programme that the SNP needs some sort of debate on the way forward, saying: "The party does not take coronations well. I'm not sure that there will be anybody challenging Nicola, but the party certainly needs a debate over policy.

"Whatever happens over Home Rule, we are moving towards the 2016 election, we are getting income tax powers anyway. We need to start thinking about that so I think there is a lot of policy debate that has to come up."

Some of BBC Scotland's Generation 2014 project have been speaking about the prospect of the voting age being lowered.

Amy Jo Randalls, who voted for the first time last week, said: "I think it's something I would support but I do have a couple of doubts about it. For instance, with the recent referendum it has been a very binary decision - it was a Yes or No decision. Information was very easy to come by."

She believes things are more complicated when it comes to general elections: "There are a lot of people - eleven adults - who do not understand what is going on."

Referendum issues continue to feature on the front pages of today's Scottish newspapers.

The Scotsman leads with the news that SNP MSP John Wilson has resigned from the party, external, citing concerns over policy on Nato and trident. He told the paper that he did not quit during the referendum campaign to avoid distracting from the push for independence.

SNP leadership contest to kick off. What direction will new team take? George Kerevan & @Bill_Jamieson, external #bbcgms, external 0735

BBC Scotland political correspondent Glenn Campbell has been speaking to Good Morning Scotland about what we can expect Nicola Sturgeon to say later this morning.

He believes a coronation looks more likely than a contest at the moment.

He said: "She will make clear that she still supports Scottish independence, that remains her ultimate political objective, but that she is prepared to work with Lord Smith's commission to increase the powers of Holyrood short of independence."

Nicola Sturgeon is expected to launch her bid to become leader of the SNP and first minister of Scotland later this morning.

Ms Sturgeon, who is Alex Salmond's deputy at the moment, is clear favourite for the job and may not even face a contest.

The MSP for Glasgow Southside is expected to say she will work with other parties to deliver more powers for Holyrood.
