During Nicola Sturgeon’s visit to St Andrews, her North East Fife candidate Stephen Gethins was chatting off mic to a radio journalist, who happens to spend his weekends wrestling.
Mr Gethins was about to give a television interview.
His playful media pal decided to give him something extra to think about while being filmed.
“Think of the Lycra,” the grappler said, referring to his preferred material.
That is probably the last thing you want to have lodged in your mind when tackling the serious political issues of the day.
But unwelcome distractions to the party message are inevitable, albeit most are unlikely to be of a spandex variety.
Just ask Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron, who has spent much of the campaign being asked about his views on homosexuality, or the investigation into the election expenses of Theresa May’s Tories.
Willie Rennie, the Scottish Liberal Democrat leader, loves a distraction, which is why he will be demolishing cars during a trip to a Fife scrap yard.
Meanwhile, the Tories are heading to Moray, where they hoping to claim the scalp of SNP depute leader Angus Robertson.
The First Minister is on Scottish Government duties up in Inverness, where she will be addressing business leaders.
And Scottish Labour’s leader Kezia Dugdale is in Stornoway, where she has been calling for the protection of Scottish institutions like the black pudding and Arbroath Smokies.
