Efforts to secure the future of two of Scotland's steelworks are at a critical phase as the two parties close in on a deal, the First Minister has said.
Tata Steel's mothballed plants at Clydebridge and Dalzell require new operators and the Scottish Government is confident that an agreement can be reached that would see Liberty House take over operations.
Nicola Sturgeon told MSPs: "Negotiations with Liberty House and Tata Steel and the Scottish Government are continuing as we speak to secure the basis for an agreement which would see Liberty House buy and operate the Dalzell and Clydebridge steel plants.
"The final due diligence on that agreement is taking place at present. The agreement would be facilitated by the Scottish Government and involve us buying the plants and then immediately selling them on to Liberty for the same consideration.
