Alba Party leader Alex Salmond has said the First Minister “lost her nerve” on Scottish independence in 2017.
The former SNP leader was speaking on a podcast with independence supporters after he admitted his party were unlikely to get any seats in the Holyrood elections.
As well as Ms Sturgeon, Mr Salmond took aim at the leadership of the SNP, who he described as “graceless”.
He also singled out MP John Nicolson, describing him as a “poser”.
The Alba Party leader also claimed his party had helped the SNP in constituencies such as Banff and Buchan Coast.
