Humza Yousaf is considering resigning as First Minister ahead of a vote of no confidence in him, according to reports.
He could walk as early as today amid huge pressure on him to secure support outwith the SNP.
The no confidence vote will take place this week at Holyrood and was triggered by Yousaf ending his Government partnership with the Greens.
He needs 64 votes to survive a confidence vote, but can only currently command 63 votes from the SNP.
The pro-independence Greens, furious about their treatment by Yousaf, are supporting the bid to topple him.
It is understood Yousaf is not keen to do a deal with Alex Salmond’s Alba, which has one MSP, and resignation is an option.
Both the BBC and the Times reported he could quit.
Another confidence vote will take place into his Government.
