Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond and Better Together leader Alistair Darling will go head-to-head later in a live TV debate on independence.

There are expected to clash on issues such as currency, the NHS and North Sea oil and gas estimates.

It is the second time the two leaders have met face-to-face for a television referendum debate.

It will be screened on BBC One Scotland, and across the rest of the UK on BBC Two, from 20:30.

Scotland will go to the polls in a referendum on 18 September, answering the "Yes/No" question: "Should Scotland be an independent country?"

The first leaders' debate aired on STV on 5 August, with both sides claiming victory.

Monday's 90-minute event will be staged at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow in front of an audience of 200 people selected by polling and research consultancy ComRes.

The debate is being presented by Glenn Campbell and will begin with opening statements from both leaders.

BBC Scotland said Mr Salmond had won a coin toss and had chosen to go first with his opening statement.

There will then be four issue sections devoted to the economy, Scotland at home, and in the world, and what happens after the vote. Each of these will begin with a question from an audience member.

The two men will then cross examine each other and the debate will be rounded off with closing statements.

Both sides in the referendum campaign insisted their man came out on top when the two leaders met for their first debate earlier this month.

Key moments of the debate included Mr Darling being asked 21 times if he agreed with David Cameron that it was possible for Scotland to be a "successful independent country".

Mr Darling's repeated questioning of Alex Salmond's currency plans for an independent Scotland elicited the biggest response on social media, with more than 2,000 tweets during that segment of the debate.
