Much like the SNP didn't care about Fergusons shipbuilders fate when they awarded contracts to foreign companies in years gone by but were right in there trying to save them when they went into administration in the lead up to the referendum.
Afaik most of the controversy regarding contracts awarded abroad instead of Fergusons occurred under the previous LibLab executive and had nothing to do with the SNP.

"It's now time for First Minister Jack McConnell to stand up for those workers and for Scotland and place that order for the fisheries protection vessel here.
Even if the current administration have continued in the same vain, it would seem misguided at best to attempt to score party political points on that front given the behaviour of the previous executive.
