    Humza Yousaf will appoint a new transport minister at the start of next week as the Scottish Government seeks to get a grip on escalating problems in the sector.

    The First Minister will announce the appointment on Monday or Tuesday, The Scotsman understands.

    Looks like Fiona Hyslop will be the next Transport Minister. A very experienced former Cabinet Secretary - although largely in the culture brief. Arch party loyalist. Probably a good political appointment - someone on the way down career wise who can steady the ship. No known interest/sympathy for cycling, but no known hostility either. May be open to approaches from cycling campaigners - need to get in before the EV folk mind, who seem to be dominating things these days.

    The Transport portfolio will be restored as a Cabinet position as First Minister Humza Yousaf changed Màiri McAllan’s Cabinet Secretary remit to ‘Transport, Net Zero and Just Transition’.

    Alongside this change, experienced former Cabinet Secretary Fiona Hyslop re-joins government as the new Minister for Transport. The range of experience Ms Hyslop brings to the role extends across the era of the Scottish Parliament, having held multiple ministerial roles, including responsibility for the economy.
