Scottish Liberal Democrat Leader, Alex Cole-Hamilton, has admitted to betting on Liberal Democrat candidates in the forthcoming general election.
Alex Cole-Hamilton is reported to have said he had placed some "low-level bets" to "show confidence in my friends".
Mr Hamilton is quoted as saying:
"I have placed bets on this election, just at the very start.
"Small, low-level bets on a couple of races around the country, really just showing confidence in my friends.
"People I know that are working hard and deserve to win but often, at times, as with all of my gambling in the past, it’s with hope rather than expectation."
