Summary of the front page

The Metro leads on Nicola Sturgeon’s husband Peter Murrell being arrested in a probe over the SNP party’s finances, with the couple’s home scoured by police.

Mr Murrell, who resigned as chief executive last month, has been released without charge, pending further investigation.
