Humza Yousaf has sacked Patrick Harvie and Lorna Slater as ministers, turfing the Scottish Greens out of government.
The First Minister summoned the two Green co-leaders to Bute House on Thursday morning ahead of an emergency Cabinet meeting.
It has been reported he dismissed them from their posts and they left the building before the Cabinet meeting began.
It appears his hand was forced as Scottish Green members considered whether they wanted to stay in government after a series of policy disagreements with the SNP.
Drawing a line under less than two years of the Scottish Greens’ involvement in Government.
