The odds on Alex McLeish taking over as Sevco boss have come crashing down to 4/1 with Betfred trimming the odds down to 3/1 this morning.
Despite Henning Berg, Gus Poyet, Frank de Boer and Tim Sherwood throwing their hats into the ring money has come flooding in for the former Aston Villa and Birmingham City boss.
It seems that week four of the ‘chase/hunt’ to replace Pedro Caixinha has brought some reality to the market with the key question being how cheaply the debt ridden club can present a new image to their fans.
With Aberdeen looking for £1m compensation and Derek McInnes likely to ask some difficult questions odds on the Pittodrie boss moving to Ibrox have drifted from 1/6 out to even money over the last week.
A win today over Hamilton will see Murty’s stock go sky high on the back of three-in-a-row with the former Reading defender likely to see his caretaker role extended.
Away matches at Aberdeen, Hibs and Celtic could be brutal for Murts prospects with McLeish on stand by to provide the club with a Real Rangers Man in the new year.
During his spell in charge of Rangers (IL) McLeish picked up £1.7m in EBT payments, a figure he has never disputed in his regular BBC appearances.
