LABOUR leader Kezia Dugdale has announced her front bench team.
With fewer MSPs to choose from after coming third at the election, the leader will take on responsibility for finance.
There are roles for new Glasgow MSP and former MP Anas Sarwar and for his city colleague, Pauline McNeill, who returns after a five year break.

Mr Sarwar will be health spokesman, while Ms McNeill is a communities spokeswoman under Alex Rowley.
James Kelly, Glasgow MSP, keeps his post as Parliamentary Business Manager, but there is no place for the other Glasgow Labour MSP, former leader Johann Lamont.
Ms Dugdale said she will be spearheading Labour’s anti austerity message she promoted during the election and opposing public sector cuts.
Her team is, like Nicola Sturgeon’s Scottish Government cabinet, gender balanced with an equal number of men and women.
Key roles are Iain Gray at education, Jackie Baillie on economy and work, Claire Baker on Justice and deputy leader Alex Rowley on social security and equalities.

Ms Dugdale said: “The big issue in Scottish politics over the next few years is how the Scottish Government uses the powers of the Parliament to stop the cuts and invest in the future.
"By taking on the finance role myself I am showing just how important our anti-austerity message is to the Labour Party. To build the kind of economy we need to create a better future for our young people we need to invest in education.
"That's what I will focus on in the next few years."
