Alex Salmond branded the decision to end oil refining at Grangemouth a 'national disgrace' while unions reacted with anger at the scale of job losses.
Billionaire tycoon Jim Ratcliffe has been blasted for spending millions on Manchester United while hundreds of workers at Scotland's last remaining oil refinery face redundancy.
Ineos - an industrial conglomerate controlled by Ratcliffe - will continue to operate the separate petrochemical plant at the gigantic industrial site on the banks of the Forth. Unite, which has campaigned against the site's closure, said the future of the refinery should not have been left "to the whim and avarice of shareholders".
"Ineos have millions to spend on transfers at Manchester United but apparently nothing to spend on transitions for workers at Grangemouth." The two governments are also promising support for workers who face losing their jobs, while Project Willow – which was previously set up by the two administrations to look at future prospects for the site – is said to have identified three credible options.
