SCOTTISH ministers are furious after Downing Street snubbed Nicola Sturgeon over the Brexit draft agreement, while rolling out the red carpet for Gibraltar.
Downing Street have said they will brief the Welsh and Scottish devolved administrations after the draft agreement has been discussed at Cabinet.
But Sturgeon said this means any Scottish Government concerns about the deal will then not be raised with ministers.

Taking to Twitter, the First Minister said: “The PM has offered to call me after her Cabinet meeting - I have suggested that we should speak ahead of the meeting so that @scotgov concerns about what is emerging can be relayed to the Cabinet BEFORE they take a decision.
“She has so far refused. The ‘respect’ agenda in action.”
In a point of order in the Commons, the SNP's Kirsty Blackman told MP that Fabian Picardo, the Chief Minister of Gibraltar had "been briefed by the Minister of State for Europe"
"I understand that no such courtesy has been afforded to the Scottish Government," she added.
The Aberdeen North MP asked why ministers in Edinburgh had not yet seen the final deal, while Gibraltar had.
David Lidington, May’s deputy, replied to say he had already had a "very constructive meeting" with the first ministers of Wales and Scotland last Friday morning.
He added: "The Prime Minister will, when the cabinet has taken a view and come to a decision about what has been agreed provisionally between negotiators, talk directly to the First Ministers of Scotland and Wales, because it is quite right that they should be fully briefed on what it is that the cabinet has decided."
After leaving his meeting at the Cabinet Office, Picardo said it would be “very bad indeed for Gibraltar” if MPs didn't back Theresa May. “I think this is potentially an agreement that certainly works for the United Kingdom and therefore certainly works for Gibraltar,” Picardo said.
“It is important that an agreement is reached because for Gibraltar the alternative no deal is not as good as what is potentially on the table.”
