The battle for Brexit will pit Theresa May's desire for a "red, white and blue" divorce from the European Union against the "tartan Remain" campaign, the SNP has claimed.
Pete Wishart, the party's Commons leader, said it would be up to the SNP to challenge the Government over its Brexit plan after he accused Labour of "caving in" to the Prime Minister's Article 50 timetable.
But Commons Leader David Lidington insisted Mrs May's patriotic Brexit proposal "includes the flag of St Andrew".
Speaking during the business statement in the Commons, Mr Wishart said: "It's another week, another instalment of Brexit cluelessness and chaos and now we have it under the banner of a red, white and blue Brexit.
"After the caving in of the Labour Party yesterday, meekly following the Government's Article 50 agenda, it's going to be the red, white and blue Brexit versus the tartan Remain."
Mr Lidington said the Government will seek to represent the entire United Kingdom in its negotiations with Brussels.
He said: "We mustn't forget that even in Scotland 40% of the population did actually vote to leave and I can assure you that the Government is going to be, yes, looking for aBrexit that is red, white and blue but that pattern includes the flag of St Andrew and the Saltire's interests will be very much in our minds throughout those negotiations."
The vast majority of Labour MPs voted with the Conservatives on Wednesday evening to call on the Government to publish its Brexit blueprint and to trigger Article 50 before the end of March next year.
Valerie Vaz, the shadow Commons leader, said the Government had "finally accepted they needed a plan, a strategy, a framework".
But she attacked ministers for failing to make their Brexit position clear.
"As ever, the message is confused," she said.
"We have the Chancellor saying we are going to be out of Europe but actually we are going to be in Europe, but we are paying for it so we are out and then we are in.
"It sounds like Government hokey cokey and it's confusing for everyone."
Mr Lidington replied: "I think what was very striking about the vote last night was that for the first time the Opposition frontbench and most but not all of Labour members of Parliament accepted the Prime Minister's timetable to trigger Article 50 by the end of March 2017.
"Given that the shadow foreign secretary (Emily Thornberry) had said as recently as September that we ought to go back to the people before taking a final decision to leave the EU, that suggests a possibly welcome change of heart on the part of the Opposition and I hope that it is genuine and sustained."
