Douglas Ross could face a humiliating defeat to the SNP, according to new polling.
Predictions from think-tank More in Common suggest the Scottish Conservative leader may face a narrow defeat in Aberdeenshire North and Moray East .
The MRP poll predicts Mr Ross’ SNP opponent, Seamus Logan, could claim victory with 37.5% of the vote.
If the results were replicated at the ballot box, the Scottish Tory leader would receive 37.2%.

Elsewhere in the north-east, the More in Common poll suggests Conservative candidate Andrew Bowie, a UK Government minister, may also lose his contest in West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine to SNP candidate Glen Reynolds.
The predictions are well within the margin of error, and separate studies predict a different outcome, but the poll is likely to concern Mr Ross as he takes his chances in the general election.
His decision to stand down as Scottish Conservative leader came after he U-turned on a promise to bow out of the Commons and focus on leading his party at Holyrood.
The move sparked an internal revolt, intensified after hospitalised candidate David Duguid claimed he had been blocked from running by the party.
The poll also does not take into account what Labour supporters in the constituency may do.
Sir Keir Starmer and Anas Sarwar have withdrawn their support from Labour’s Andy Brown – whose social media accounts had shared content questioning Russia’s role in the Salisbury nerve agent attack.
While Mr Brown will still be included on the ballot, potential Labour voters may decide to back another candidate.
