Anas Sarwar tells The Stooshie how he attempts to lead his party by channelling legendary football managers Jose Mourinho and Sir Alex Ferguson. And he reveals which premiership manager he'd compare First Minister Humza Yousaf with.

We also discuss Labour's plan to attract voters across Tayside, Fife, the north and north east; and why he think those worried about the future of the oil and gas sector in Aberdeen should put their faith in Keir Starmer.
