A Labour leadership contender has ruled out a separate Scottish party.
Liz Kendall said the party had to stick together across the UK while it fought the Tories in England and SNP north of the border.
The four MPs bidding to succeed Ed Miliband set out their stalls at a hustings event in Glasgow.
Earlier Andy Burnham, Yvette Cooper, Jeremy Corbyn and Liz Kendall met activists and party members across Scotland to seek support.
Ms Kendall spoke to members in the east of the city in Dennistoun after a visit to Raploch in Stirling.
She said: "I don't believe there should be an independent Scottish Labour party. We achieve more together than we do alone."
She said Kezia Dugdale or Ken Macintosh would be free to lead north of the border.
She said "It would be for the new Scottish leader to lead in Scotland. We are a team and we haven't been enough of a team in the past.
"I want to make sure the leaders in Scotland and Wales are at the heart of how we rebuild the party."
She said in Scotland Labour had been losing touch over many years and rebuilding was crucial "house by house, street by street."
The Leicester West MP and Shadow Minister for Care, said Labour was right on many policies at the General Election but didn't appeal broadly enough.
She added: "Scrapping the bedroom tax was right raising the minimum wage was right but for many we had little to say, for people running a small business or owning their own home."
There was no "simple answer" to the party's defeat in Scotland but recognised a connection had been lost.
She said "Anyone who gives a simple answer would be wrong. It's been over a long period of time we've been losing touch with communities and taking votes for granted.
"The best and brightest wanted to go to Westminster. We didn't champion our successes enough."
Mr Burnham was also campaigning in the east of Glasgow in Calton ahead of an upcoming council by-election.
Scotland, he said, was crucial to Labour's recovery.
He said: "Labour lost in Scotland because we stopped listening to the Scottish people.
"I am in Glasgow to hear first-hand from Labour and former Labour supporters what their priorities are.
"I understand that there will never be a Labour Government at Westminster if we cannot persuade Scotland to vote Labour again.
"We can't lose 40 seats and think we got nothing wrong. Labour has to show we can listen to Scotland."
Shadow Home secretary, Yvette Cooper, was promoting her Labour heritage and was heading from Glasgow to the Durham Miners Gala a key event in the Labour movement in the north east of England.
She said: "As the granddaughter of a miner and a coalfield constituency MP, I know how close this event is to people's hearts and to our values and history as a Labour Party.
More than ever we need to show our solidarity with our last remaining mines and our coalfield communities.
"It is therefore more important than ever that we mark the huge contribution made by miners across the country, as we see the Tories continue their attack on mining communities."
