Humza Yousef: Second referendum on Scottish independence 'an option'published at 07:00 British Summer Time 24 June 2016
Humza Yousef, who is the SNP MSP for Glasgow Pollok, denied the UK Leave result would automatically trigger a second referendum on Scottish independence.
He told the Good Morning Scotland programme that the SNP's Scottish Parliament manifesto stated that a second vote was a "possibility'.
Quote MessageIt wasn't couched in the way - that it would be an automatic referendum, that if this result played out, this would absolutely be the case. It was simply said that if this does happen, there is the possibility that a second referendum could happen. Now, Nicola Sturgeon, from a few days ago, said that we will do whatever we can to protect Scotland's interests and that means that a second referendum will be an option that's on the table.

Many huge questions are raised by the EU referendum result.
In Scotland the biggest and most pressing question is whether this vote could spell the break up of the UK and hasten the day we see an independent Scotland.
Image source, PAEvery region in Scotland voted to remain but the UK-wide result means that Scotland will nonetheless be leaving the EU.
This is exactly the scenario SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon envisaged when she said that if Scotland is "dragged out of the EU against its will" that could trigger a second referendum on independence.
She is a cautious politician - more cautious than Alex Salmond, who is keen to go for indyref 2. She will not want to make any hasty decisions.
But if this EU result does produce polls showing a majority in favour of Scottish independence it may be her best chance to achieve her overriding political ambition.
Director of Scotland Vote Leave: 'No question Scots will unite with the whole of the country'published at 06:34 British Summer Time 24 June 2016
Quote MessageIt's the UK that's the member of the EU at the moment, not Scotland. So, there is no question that Scots will unite with the whole of the country to go forward and negotiate their very positive exit from the EU. We're going to see a very exciting prosperous future for the whole of the UK now.
Tom Harris, Director Scotland Vote Leave
