Former MP Natalie McGarry’s appeal against her embezzlement convictions will take place before the end of the year.
Lord Carloway, Lord Turnbull and Lord Drummond Young told lawyers acting for McGarry they will hear the case on December 19.
The judges fixed the date following a short hearing yesterday at the Court of Criminal Appeal in Edinburgh.
Lawyers acting for the ex-SNP MP say she is a victim of a miscarriage of justice and want judges to quash her convictions.
The former Glasgow East representative was jailed for 18 months in June 2019 at the city’s sheriff court after pleading guilty to stealing more than £25,000 from pro-Scottish independence groups.
She was jailed after being convicted of taking cash she wasn’t entitled to from the SNP’s Glasgow Regional Association and Women for Independence.
Some of the money included in the sum embezzled included donations meant for a food bank.
