Moyes favourite for Scotland job

The odds on David Moyes becoming the new Scotland manager have shortened to evens. Coral had the former Everton and Manchester United boss at 3-1 but he has become the new favourite after a flurry of bets.

Scotland Under-21 coach Scot Gemmill is second at 11-8 while Kilmarnock manager Steve Clarke remains popular at 3-1.

John Hill, spokesman for Coral, said: “We have been knocked over with interest in David Moyes in the last 24 hours.”

Moyes, who has also managed Real Sociedad, Sunderland and West Ham, attended three Scottish Premiership matches at the weekend – Celtic v Kilmarnock, St Mirren v St Johnstone and Rangers v Aberdeen.
