'A few minutes earlier, Scottish Sports Minister Patricia Ferguson had wandered on to the running track to universal indifference. Ms Ferguson, while no doubt terribly nice in her way, has something of a reputation as a human tumbleweed at Holyrood. Wherever she goes, the atmosphere vanishes.' Tom Gordon in the Herald, 8 th September 2006.
