Former Scottish first minister Alex Salmond has joined an activist investor seeking to oust the board and chief executive of Johnston Press, owner of titles including the Scotsman and national newspaper i.

Salmond, who lost his Gordon seat in the last general election, has teamed up with Christen Ager-Hanssen, the struggling newspaper publisher's largest investor, who is looking to take control.

The former SNP leader said he would not seek to have editorial control of the Scotsman, which opposed Scottish independence, but he would like it to become more "pro-Scotland".
