RUTH Davidson's return to FMQs has sparked fury online, with Twitter users saying she was "clearly rattled" and her performance was a "dismal failure".

The former Scottish Tory leader is temporarily fronting the party’s group in Holyrood following the ousting of Jackson Carlaw, and the uncontested election of Douglas Ross as leader.

Though it was claimed at the time that Carlaw had chosen to stand down of his own accord, the process has been dogged by claims of a plot.It's known that Davidson and Ross met just days before their colleague decided the top job wasn't for him.

As Ross was appointed Scottishg Tory leader, it was announced that Davidson would take over at FMQs again – despite the party having two deputies, MSPs Annie Wells and Liam Kerr.

But Davidson's FMQs appearance hasn't gone down well online. Here are the best reactions:
