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 vehicle, a black Jaguar, was used to transport her and a family member to the Rangers vs. Celtic game at Ibrox Stadium. This action has raised questions about the appropriate use of government resources, especially given the ongoing cost-of-living crisis. The Scottish Government has stated that the use of the car was in line with the ministerial code, which allows for such transport when ministers are on official business. However, opposition parties have criticized the move, highlighting the perceived extravagance and questioning the necessity of using taxpayer-funded resources for personal or leisure activities. The incident has sparked a debate on the transparency and accountability of government officials' use of public assets.
