The former head of the Treasury, Sir Nicholas Macpherson,

has said Brexit would create a "golden opportunity"

for an independent Scotland in the EU if SNP ministers

Sir Nicholas masterminded the UK Government's case against

Here's our political correspondent, Glenn Campbell.

And not expect the man who masterminded the UK Government's

case for Scotland to remain in the union to suddenly highlight the

opportunities Scottish independence might present. But that's what Sir

Nicholas Macpherson does in the Financial Times, arguing that Brexit

operas a golden opportunity for independence supporters to revise

their economic arguments. Independence in the EU could give

Edinburgh an historic opportunity to develop as a financial centre, and

Scotland an extraordinary opportunity to attract investment

and skilled migrants. These are quite remarkable comments from a

former Derry senior civil servant, who is outlining the opportunities.

He was a fierce critic of it before. He very publicly rejected the idea

of an independent Scotland sharing the pound with the UK. Post Brexit,

he thinks an independent Scotland wouldn't want to use sterling

anyway, and would be better with a wouldn't want to use sterling

separate currency, a low tax. That is quite different from what the

Scottish Government proposed to make years ago. You would need a low tax

economy and a smaller state. We all know what that means. That is

Treasury mandarin speak for us to slashing public services. He has

opened up the same arguments of 2014 and I don't think it takes forward.

He doesn't say whether he now supports Scottish independence, but

his and to make intervention opens the debate again.

Andy Murray says he's determined to make the most

of being in tomorrow's Wimbledon final against Milos Raonic.

And as Jane Lewis reports, Murray might take inspiration

from another Scot who's already been crowned a Wimbledon champion today.

Some last-minute honing before the real business tomorrow. Murray

through to his third Wimbledon final and I in a second title here. The

older you get, you never know how many chances you are going to have

to play in a grand slam final, so you want to make the most of the

opportunities and I know what I have to do to get to the latter stages of

these events. I need to play a great match on Sunday I want to win. A

great match, that is one way to describe Gordon Reid's Win in the

doubles wheelchair final. The Scot, along with partner Alfie Hewitt won

in three sets. The crowd really helped us get through that match in

such a tight situation in that third set, and it's so amazing to see so

many people here. Look at everyone standing up on the other court. It's

amazing to see people here enjoying wheelchair tennis. Thanks everyone

again. Will there be further Scottish access? Tomorrow, fans will

be lapping up the men's final. Well, It's over to Judith now

with the weather outlook Something greater coming into the

Glasgow area as we speak. That rain will be confined to the west and the

north, quite a fresh wind to the north and the Shetlands. Misty and

murky towards the west coast and it will look like it is staying that

way tomorrow. Very humid tonight, 15 Celsius during the central lowlands.

With this expansive area of low pressure throwing weather front

after weather front out, that means rain for us. Something drier and

brighter to the east initially tomorrow before that rain stars

become more widespread. There will be some dry interludes, one ought

two sharp showers. All in all, a grey day. Pleasantly warm, 18 or 19

Celsius. Our next update is tomorrow

evening, at ten to 6:00. Until then, from everyone

on the team, enjoy the rest
