JO Swinson claims the SNP will announce IndyRef2 “within days” if they win in seats being fought by the Liberal Democrats.
The Lib Dem leader will speak at a rally in Edinburgh tomorrow, a week ahead of polling day.
It is expected that Ms Swinson will tell the crowd that that First minister, Nicola Sturgeon, should “spend a little less time banging on about independence and a little more time on sorting out our hospitals and mental health services”.
She is expected to tell the crowd: “For the last three and a half years, the SNP have had front row seats watching the Conservatives fail to get Brexit done.
“They’ve seen that breaking up is hard to do but instead of learning the lessons, the SNP want to repeat the mistakes.
“They’ve watched how hard it is to break up a union of 40 years and they still want to try to break up one of more than 300 years.
“And if the SNP win in the seats we are fighting, they will announce an independence referendum within days. That is not in Scotland’s best interest.”
Ms Sturgeon will give as good as she gets, as she will start a national campaign bus tour, warning there is “seven days to escape Brexit”.
As the final days of the campaign commences, she prepared for the bus tour by saying Boris Johnson “must be stopped next Thursday or it will be open season on Scotland as the Tories start to impose their hard-line Brexit scheme”.
Nicola Sturgeon and SNP asked to be judged on education – now things are worse than ever
She added: “Together we can stop Brexit. In every seat that the Tories hold in Scotland, the SNP are the main challengers.
“No other party can defeat them in Scotland so to stop Boris Johnson I urge voters to unite around the SNP.
“We have seven days to escape Brexit, lock Boris Johnson out of office and put Scotland’s future in Scotland’s hands.”
This comes following the STV Scottish leaders’ debate on Tuesday evening, where all three opposition leaders criticised Sturgeon’s record on health and education.
We told you how the First Minister chose to ignore the fact that her “sharp and significant increase” means pupils are now performing slightly worse than they did before she started improving our school system.
Tory leader Jackson Carlaw was joined by Labour frontman Richard Leonard and LibDem Scots leader Willie Rennie in pressuring Sturgeon to admit she had put Indyref2 ahead of all other policy areas.

Sturgeon claimed she wasn’t given the chance to give a response to “important issues” such as the health crisis in Scottish hospitals and slumping maths and science performance rating in schools across the country.
Polling day is next Thursday, December 12. Tomorrow marks the last week of campaigning prior to the Westminster elections.
