I'm not sure if I'm interpreting it the way this headline is interpreting it. From what I understand of FTA arrangements, it could potentially be damaging to the rUK if Scotland was able to have single market access while the rest of the country did not as it would effectively make Scotland much more competitive than the rest of the region. That's an argument for both sides, in my opinion.

However, the negotiators seem to be stating what many people have been stating for over a year now that more powers will need to be devolved if Scotland is going to have any control over its future and, arguably, the 2014 referendum is to be honored.

This isn't so much as a brexit deal but rather the UK government not doing a power grab from Scotland during the process that would prevent us from managing policy like energy and migration. The conservatives already cut the renewable sector which the EU stepped in and funded in their stead and there's ongoing campaigns to resettle rural Scotland due to the declining and aging population.

Those are but a few areas which devolution was arguably supposed to settle with a view that partial sovereignty was contained in the EU. If the UK does a power grab, then Scotland will be in a much worse situation democratically than it was before 2014 which effectively makes any progress made during that period void.
