Will Their Hearts Be In It? Former Jambos Bosses Favourites For Hibs Job

Jim Jeffries has emerged as William Hill’s 5/2 favourite to become the next Hibs boss. The former Hearts boss is joined in the top three in the betting by another former Hearts manager Billy Brown at 4/1 and Shamrock Rovers manager Michael O’Neill at 3/1.

“There are a number of likely candidates for the position but it is strange to see two former Hearts bosses so high in the betting,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “It seems that in the fickle world of football, these managers would have no qualms in crossing the great divide.”

Other contenders include Mark McGhee at 6/1 and Gordon Strachan, Jimmy Calderwood and Gus McPherson – all at 8/1.

Next Hibernian Boss: 5/2 Jim Jeffries; 3/1 Michael O’Neill; 4/1 Billy Brown; 6/1 Mark McGhee; 8/1 Gordon Strachan; 8/1 Jimmy Calderwood; 8/1 Gus McPherson; 10/1 Gary Bollan; 10/1 Billy Stark; 10/1 John Robertson; 10/1 Danny Lennon; 12/1 Billy Reid; 12/1 Jackie McNamara; 14/1 Billy Davies; 16/1 Terry Butcher; 16/1 John Collins; 16/1 Allan Moore; 16/1 John Hughes; 20/1 Paul Cook

Sergio’s Boys Had Better Show Heart Or He Will Be Shown The Door

Paulo Sergio was today named as Jim Jeffries successor at Hearts but William Hill already have him as the 7/1 third favourite to be the next SPL boss to leave his club. He is 1/2 to still be in charge of Hearts come the final day of the season and 6/4 to have left the club by then. Hearts are 40/1 to win the SPL and 16/1 to be runners-up, although, they are even money to finish in third place.

“Paulo Sergio has walked into possibly the most volatile of positions in Scottish football and could well be looking down the barrel of the gun should his troops fail to get off to a winning start,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

How many more managers will Hearts have this season: 1/2 none, 2/1 one; 7/1 two or more

Hearts finishing position: 40/1 winner; 16/1 runner up; 1/1 third; 2/1 fourth; 6/1 fifth; 10/1 sixth; 14/1 seventh or lower

Will Paulo Sergio be in charge on last game of the season: 1/2 yes; 6/4 no

Next SPL Manager to leave: 10/11 Colin Calderwood; 4/1 Terry Butcher; 7/1 Paulo Sergio; 9/1 Derek McInnes; 9/1 Kenny Shiels; 16/1 Ally McCoist; 16/1 Danny Lennon; 25/1 Craig Brown; 25/1 Neil Lennon; 25/1 Peter Houston; 25/1 Stuart McCall; 33/1 Jim McIntyre

McCoist Could Be Looking Like A Swede If Rangers Go Out

Ally McCoist’s Rangers take on Malmo in the Champions League qualifiers on Wednesday and the, already under pressure manager needs a result in Sweden. William Hill make Malmo the 1/2 favourites to qualify for the next round, Rangers are 6/4. Rangers are 13/10 favourites to win in 90 minutes, while Malmo are 13/8. Rangers are 6/1 to win on away goals. The Scottish side are 250/1 to win this year’s Champions League. McCoist is 10/3 to not be Rangers manager come the last day of the season and is 16/1 to be the next SPL manager to leave their job.

“McCoist is under pressure already following a couple of uninspiring performances and he will surely be feeling the heat should Rangers go out of the Champions League against Malmo,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Will Ally McCoist Be Rangers Manager Come The Last Game Of The Season: 1/5 yes; 10/3 no

To Qualify: 1/2 Malmo; 6/4 Rangers

Match Odds: 13/8 Malmo; 13/10 Rangers; 11/5 Draw

To win in extra time: 20/1 Malmo; 16/1 Rangers

To keep a clean sheet: 2/1 Malmo; 6/4 Rangers

To win to nil: 18/5 Malmo; 13/5 Rangers

11/4 Rangers to score in both halves

16/5 Daniel Larsson to score anytime and Malmo to win
19/5 Daniel Larsson to score anytime and match to be drawn
3/1 Daniel Larsson to score anytime and Rangers to win

Nikica Jelavic and Steven Naismith were both on target against St Johnstone on Saturday

New Spl Season…latest Odds

The start of the new Scottish Premier League is upon us and William Hill cannot split the Old Firm clubs offering 5/6 for both sides to win this year’s SPL title. Hearts appear to be in pole position for the ‘best of the rest’ honours offered at 5/4 in the SPL without Old Firm sides followed by Dundee Utd at 10/30. At the other end of the table, newly promoted Dunfermline are the 5/2 favourites to finish bottom of the league with St Mirren 3/1.

Rangers striker Nickica Jelavic is the 3/1 joint favourite to win the SPL golden boot with Gary Hooper, with Celtic’s Anthony Stokes and Dundee Utd’s David Goodwillie 8/1.

There is a three way tie at the top of the SPL sack race, with Hearts’ Jim Jeffries, St Johnstone’s Derek McInnes and Kilmarnock’s Kenny Shiels all seemingly in the firing line as 4/1 joint favourites.

“The football season kicks off early this season, easing the anguish of a tournament free summer and we have a number of bets to keep every SPL punter involved until the final day,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Scottish Premier League Outright: 5/6 Rangers; 5/6 Celtic; 50/1 Hearts; 100/1 Dundee Utd; 200/1 Aberdeen; 250/1 Hibernian; 250/1 Motherwell; 500/1 Kilmarnock; 500/1 Inverness CT; 1000/1 Dunfermline; 1000/1 St Johnstone; 1000/1 St Mirren

Jeffries Gamble Underway As Burley Looks Doomed

Early ‘Killie-cash’ gamble on Jeffries as:
NO MORE BETS ON BURLEY TO GO

HAVING OFFERED 7/4 that Scotland boss George Burley would lose his job before the qualifiers for the next Euro tournament get underway, William Hill closed the book once it became obvious that he is likely to be sacked before the end of the week.
And punters have already poured cash on Kilmarnock manager Jim Jeffries succeeding Burley, forcing his odds down from an opening 20/1 to 5/1 joint favourite, along with Craig Levein and Walter Smith. Hills also offer 6/1 Gary McAllister; 7/1 Owen Coyle; 8/1 Billy Davies; 10/1 Darren Ferguson; Joe Jordan 12/1 Kenny Dalglish; Mark McGhee.
‘This is likely to be a very volatile market in the early stages, but the very fact that we are already seeing plenty of interest in Burley’s successor pretty much guarantees that he won’t be seeing the week out’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
