The FM said she respected the court process as judges meet in London to rule on whether Holyrood has the powers to call IndyRef2
Nicola Sturgeon has said she is "hopeful and optimistic" that judges will rule in the Scottish Government's favour when they assess her referendum plan.
Lawyers representing the UK Government will argue that as constitutional matters are reserved to Westminster, judges should rule against the plan. "But anyone who knows anything about court hearings would know that there's not a lot of point about trying to second guess or speculate about the court's outcome - the arguments will be put and the court will decide. I respect the rule of law and I respect the process and we will see what comes out of that."
