Bookies hilariously price up Sunday amateur manager to be next Kilmarnock boss

A Sunday amateurs team's manager has been quoted in the Kilmarnock next manager betting odds.

McBookie have priced up Callum Scott, who manages the town's Grange Amateurs, and installed him as a 100/1 shot to replace Steve Clarke.

At just 23, lifelong Killie fan Callum was delighted that his pals had managed to link his name with the job.

He led Grange to a league and cup double this season, and he has jokingly ruled himself out of the Rugby Park gig.

He laughed: "I’m honoured to be linked with the current vacancy at Kilmarnock, and it’s no secret I’m a Killie fan.

"Of course, one day I would love to give it a go but at this moment in time my work at Grange Amateurs is far from done.

"We have just won the title and gained promotion to Division One, as well as won the Wayne Bannerman Trophy a few weeks ago. I look forward to building on that in the coming season and establishing the club in the top flight.

"I’m sure Billy Bowie and the Killie board will appoint the right man and lead the club to further success. Maybe one day I’ll be there!"
