SCOTLAND’S political leaders are set to face off in the second televised debate of the campaign.

This time STV is hosting the show, with the line-up for the event now confirmed.

Here’s everything you need to know.

WHEN IS IT?

The STV leaders’ debate will take place on Tuesday April 13, with Holyrood’s political heavyweights set to battle it out over important issues such as the pandemic and Scottish independence.

WHERE CAN I WATCH IT?

Viewers can watch the debate on the STV channel, starting at 7.30pm and ending at 9pm. The show will also be aired on STV Player.

There were concerns that viewers in the south of Scotland could miss out, as the debate was not listed on ITV Border's schedule. However, the broadcaster insists it will be broadcast on that channel.
