The Believe in Scotland event will hear from speakers including the SNP leader and Ross Greer but no one from Alex Salmond's party.

Organisers of a pro-independence march due to be attended by Humza Yousaf this weekend have become embroiled in a row between Alba and the Scottish Greens.

The Record understands the environmentalists explained they would only share a stage with any organisation or individual whose progressive values aligned with its own. "As seen from social media postings by Believe in Scotland they have stated that Alba Party cannot now be present at the rally as this is a condition of the Scottish Green Party’s involvement," the statement said.

The statement added: "Alba Party have held over 100 pro independence meetings across Scotland in the past eighteen months. To our knowledge the Greens haven’t held a single meeting to promote the cause of Scottish independence."A spokesman for Believe in Scotland said: "We are disappointed that Alba will not be among the speakers at our march and rally.
