The SNP’s Westminster leader has pledged to serve however he is asked if he becomes an MSP next year.
Stephen Flynn announced earlier this year he would be seeking the Aberdeen South seat – the Holyrood equivalent of his constituency in the House of Commons.
He is widely seen as a potential future SNP leader and someone who will likely serve as a minister if the party continues its near-two decade stint in power after May’s election .
But speaking to the PA news agency, Mr Flynn said he would do whatever job First Minister John Swinney asks of him.
“I will do whatever is asked of me by the First Minister, irrespective of what that is,” he said. “If that is sitting on the back benches and bringing some life to some of the debates in Holyrood, I’m up for that.
