GET your FMQs bingo cards ready because recess is over and parliament is back in session.

We didn’t even have to wait five minutes before there were squares to be marked off. Tech issues, jibes, sloganeering: check, check, check.

Ahhh. It’s good to be back.

Douglas Ross began by asking the First Minister if all members of the Cabinet support her recently announced proposals on vaccine passports for nightclubs and large events.

The idea has been criticised by some but you would think it would have the backing of the Scottish Tory leader.

The requirement to have a vaccine passport to enter some night-time venues may help encourage young people to get vaccinated. Then Michael Gove could feel safe in the knowledge that the folk at the club buying him double vodkas have also been double jagged.

The National:

Nicola Sturgeon said that it would be up to parliament to decide about vaccine certification, and she reminded Douglas Ross that ministers in her government are bound by collective responsibility.

In a taster of the debate to come, she reasserted her view that – in the narrow circumstances laid out during her statement to parliament on Wednesday – vaccine certification was proportionate and reasonable.

"The First Minister refused to say if they all agreed at the time of the announcement on vaccine passports because it seems now that this coalition of chaos that the first minister described as a ‘leap of faith’ earlier on this week is already a leap into the dark for the Greens," replied Douglas Ross.

Nicola Sturgeon hit back: "Perhaps Douglas Ross should first and foremost concentrate on what his view on vaccine certification is: whether he supports it or opposes it, or whether he’s going to continue to simply engage in the infantile opposition that characterises so much of the Conservative’s response to Covid."

She’s got a point. Douglas Ross has had all summer to decide where his party stands on curbing the rising Covid cases.

It’s all well and good saying you don’t want to see a return to restrictions but that’s the luxury of being in opposition.

We can’t beat the virus with business-friendly rhetoric and wishful thinking alone.

Douglas Ross will have to come up with something better ahead of the debate next week if he doesn’t want to be accused of "infantile opposition" again.

Speaking of which, no FMQs would be complete without some shouting from a sedentary position.

Right at the end of the session, during a thoughtful exchange between Labour’s Pauline McNeill and Nicola Sturgeon on anti-Irish racism and bigotry, something was shouted at the First Minister which caused uproar in the chamber.

A visibly angry Nicola Sturgeon addressed the Presiding Officer to say that she was "deeply offended" by the comment and would be taking it up with her after the session so that the member in question could be asked to reflect and withdraw it.

While viewers at home couldn’t hear the remark, it was confirmed by both SNP and Tory sources after questions had ended that the comment had been made by new Tory MSP Tess White.

In response to Nicola Sturgeon saying "Anybody who chooses to live in Scotland – this is your home", Tess White apparently shouted "…unless you’re English!’’

I didn’t put "Tory MSP fails to read the room" on the bingo card, but perhaps I should have.
