What time is Nicola Sturgeon's lockdown update today and how you can watch it?

Nicola Sturgeon is due to give her latest lockdown update today after meeting with her cabinet to discuss the potential tightening of the restrictions.

The First Minister is expected to hold a meeting this morning, where up for discussion will be a possible reduction of click and collect services to essential retail only as well as potential new rules for takeaway services.

Speaking yesterday, Nicola Sturgeon said: "I'm not trying to shy away from saying, because I said it last week, the kind of issues we will be looking at.

"Do we have to tighten up to reduce the number of people that are moving around any further? And I talked last week about reducing perhaps click and collect to essential retail only to maybe looking at putting further restrictions on takeaway.

"We've not reached decisions on these things yet, but these are the kinds of things we'll be considering at our meeting tomorrow and then I'll set out any decisions that we reach in the normal way."

The First Minister admitted any decisions to tighten current restrictions further won't be taken "lightly", as she reminded Scots of moves made last spring at the peak of the first lockdown.

She added: "We will be considering if any further restrictions are required and we won't take any of these decisions lightly, but I would appeal to everybody to just think back to how we all complied with lockdown last spring.

"That's really what we should be doing this time as far as possible as well."

What time will the First Minister be speaking?

Nicola Sturgeon will conduct the daily briefing at 12.15pm this afternoon after meeting with cabinet this morning. She will then take questions from journalists.

Where can I watch it?

Viewers can watch the update live BBC One Scotland, on the BBC Scotland channel or on the Scottish Government YouTube channel.

The SNP's official Twitter page will be tweeting the announcement live.
