A PUBLIC relations expert from Inverclyde has revealed he is taking a job as First Minister Humza Yousaf's new adviser.

Kevin Pringle has been appointed official spokesperson and strategic political adviser for Mr Yousaf, eight years after he left a senior communications role with the SNP.

The 55-year-old, who has been working as a consultant with communications firm Charlotte Street Partners since then, will take up his new Scottish Government post this month.
