The former First Minister joked about how the referendum was a 'square go' between Yes and No voters and the worst that happened was Jim Murphy being egged.
In the final video footage of the former First Minister, filmed the day before he died, Salmond discussed the success of the Edinburgh Agreement and joked with his fellow panel members about former Labour leader Jim Murphy being egged.
He said that if he said anything wrong he wouldn't be buying lunch, adding: " I'm Scottish afterall - we don't do these sort of things." "That was enabled because people on each side of the argument knew there was a process by which the argument could be decided i.e. a referendum...a 'square go' as we might call it in the Scottish vernacular."
