So, will it be Salmond vs Baillie/Fraser/Rennie ?

We know who is going to lead the 'Yes' campaign during the Independence Referendum, but who on earth is going to lead the 'No' campaign? Not David Cameron anyway.

We now know one of the 3 leaders today, but what about the other two? The most important, of course, by a Scots mile, is the next SLAB leader. Baillie is the current FAV, but the race looks quite open. Current best prices:

Next leader of Labour parliamentary group
Jackie Baillie 7/4 (Lad, SJ, WH)
Ken Macintosh 5/2 (PP, WH)
John Park 5/1 (SJ) *** update *** 4/1 (WH)
Hugh Henry 6/1 (PP)
Johann Lamont 6/1 (PP, SJ, WH)
Malcolm Chisholm 8/1 (SJ)
Elaine Murray 12/1 (SJ)
Michael McMahon 20/1 (SJ)
Jim Murphy 20/1 (PP)
Richard Baker 25/1 (SJ)
Kezia Dugdale 33/1 (SJ)
Jenny Marra 50/1 (SJ)
Graeme Pearson 50/1 (SJ)
Gordon Brown 200/1 (PP)

Next Tory Leader (Stan James)
Murdo Fraser 7/4
Jackson Carlaw 9/4
John Lamont 9/4
Ruth Davidson 10/1

'Independence' does not mean rule from Brussels.

The Scottish EU Region is not and will not be 'Independent' even if/when its voted for.

Hilarious LOL.

Surprised you're so sanguine about current developments, Anon. Everyone knows the SNP is a front for the dastardly Brussels plan to carve up England into new EU Oblasts such as "East of England Oblast", "Yorkshire Oblast" and best of all "Kent and Pas-de-Calais Oblast".
