Scottish Labour set to announce new leader candidates

Scottish Labour is set to announce the candidates to replace Johann Lamont as party leader later.

Ms Lamont resigned on Friday, launching a stinging attack on her colleagues at Westminster who she said had made her position "untenable".

Temporary leader Anas Sarwar is among those being linked to the role, with former prime minister Gordon Brown and fellow MP Jim Murphy also thought to be contenders.

Iain Watson reports.
