FMQs gets under way...

Humza Yousaf is poised in his seat and Douglas Ross gets to his feet to begin this week's First Minister's Questions.

What can we expect from FMQs this week?

As ever, we don't know the topics each opposition party leader will raise with Humza Yousaf, but we do know the stories that have been dominating the headlines this week.

We learned the deposit return scheme in Scotland is to be delayed until October 2025 at the earliest.

Meanwhile, islanders on South Uist say their community has been left "beyond crisis" after its ferry service was cancelled for the rest of June.

And annual spending on NHS temporary staff in Scotland has risen to a record high of more than £560m.

We do know for certain that questions from the backbenches will include ones on support for Carers Week, the need for more rangers in rural Scotland and the legal minimum age for marriage.
