Yousaf said: "Im delighted to be re-elected as the MSP for Glasgow Pollok. In 2016 I took great pride being elected as the first ethnic minority MSP to a constituency seat. Now I'm the first to be re-elected to a constituency seat."
He added: "Today we also had thugs who gave Nazi salutes and tried to intimidate ethnic minority candidates, myself included. Whenever I've had hatered directed my way the voices of good have always outweighed the bad."
