Mr Rennie said tactical voting meant his party had “a big role to play” in the election” as many voters were determined to stop a second referendum.

He said: “I’ve been astonished at the rage that there is out there, including from some people who did vote for the SNP last time, and they want to stop it now.

“They are just spitting mad at the SNP at how they have banged on about independence all the time and I think it’s got to stop, and they are going to use this election to do so.

“People who were traditionally Labour and Conservative people now want to stop a second referendum, they are coming our way.

“The people who are fed-up with the SNP banging on about independence all the time, even though they voted for them last time, they are coming over to us.”

Scottish Labour election manager James Kelly said the LibDems offered “nothing new”.

He said: “In the vast majority of seats across Scotland, the LibDems are not at the races. Scots have not forgotten that for five years the LibDems propped up a Tory government hell-bent on imposing austerity on the poorest in society.”

The SNP said: “We’re running a positive campaign to stand up for Scotland against an increasingly right-wing Tory government.” CONSTITUTION
