Justice Secretary and family member 'driven to Old Firm in Government car'

The article from MSN discusses a controversy involving Justice Secretary Angela Constance, who was driven to an Old Firm football match in a government car.

The incident has sparked a debate on the transparency and accountability of government officials' use of public assets.
