A motion of no confidence in the Scottish government is due to be debated later on Wednesday.
Scottish Labor is ahead pressing with its motion despite Humza Yousaf announcing earlier this week his intention to stand down as SNP leader and first minister.
If the motion passes, all ministers in the minority SNP government will be forced to quit.
The Scottish parliament will then have 28 days to appoint a new prime minister, failing which, a snap election would be called.
Despite having the backing of the Scottish Tories and Liberal Democrats, it is not expected to pass as it does not have the support of the Scottish Greens.
The debate and vote follows the breakdown of the Bute House Agreement.
Within hours of the powersharing deal with the Scottish Greens coming to an end last week, Scottish Tory leader Douglas Ross announced he would be bringing a motion of no confidence in the prime minister.

Scottish Labor then announced it was planning a motion of no confidence in the Scottish government.
