First Minister Nicola Sturgeon had her weekly grilling by MSPS at First Minister’s Questions, and Conservati­ve leader Ruth Davidson raised the issue of the justice secretary being accused of blocking the chief constable of Police Scotland’s return to work. @Murdo_fraser tweeted: “Forensic questionin­g of @Nicolastur­geon here by @Ruthdavids­onmsp on Police Scotland – we need greater clarity on what has happened with the Chief Constable.” @Paulhutche­on reported: “Ruth Davidson on Michael Matheson’s meeting on stopping the chief constable’s return to work: ‘This is the SNP’S secret Scotland and it stinks’.” @Politicssc­ot hit back: “SNP’S secret Scotland? What a brass neck @Ruthdavids­onmsp has when her Tory government in Westminste­r won’t tell the public a damned thing about Brexit.”

#PRINCEWILL­IAM

The second-in-line to the throne turned heads today with a new hairstyle. The Prince appears to have given up a battle with his receeding hairline and opted for a mostly shaved head in a public appearance. @Atmology wrote: “Welcome to the club, bro. You look better cleanshave­n. Embrace the baldness.” @Bermudabat agreed: “No point hiding something that is bleeding obvious!” @Louisebrid­ger asked: “No one made a fuss when Prince Edward went bald at a young age so why the fuss over Prince William?”

#STEVENNAIS­MITH

Hearts fans are elated after securing the signing of Scotland internatio­nal Steven Naismith on an initial loan deal from Norwich City. The former Rangers star will link up with erstwhile colleague Kyle Lafferty at Tynecastle. @Fraserasmi­th joked: “Steven Naismith said: ‘I couldn’t pass up the opportunit­y to get back playing in Scotland, especially alongside such a talented group of players like Malaury Martin and Rafał Grzelak’.” @Captainjam­tart wrote: “That’s a signing and a half. Well done to Levein for getting this done. Brilliant!” @Mrewenmurr­ay claimed: “Hearts didn’t ‘beat’ Rangers to Steven Naismith. Hearts getting Steven Naismith is a real coup after weeks and weeks of work.”
