The odds landscape has changed on the market for the next Scotland manager after Ange Postecoglou was appointed Al Nassr manager.

The former Celtic boss had been the frontrunner for the post with bookmakers, priced at 2/1 for the Hampden position.

However, he has now dropped out of the picture after taking on a new role in Saudi Arabia, where he will manage Cristiano Ronaldo.

That means there is a new name at the top of the odds list to become the next permanent Scotland manager.

David Moyes has moved into the spot as frontrunner, according to Skybet, who have him priced at 2/1.

Falkirk boss John McGlynn is next in line at 4/1 with Roberto Martinez 5/1 and Alex Neil slightly further on 6/1 to be Steve Clarke's successor at Hampden.

Scotland coach Steven Naismith is 15/2 to take on the top job while Scott Brown is 10/1 and Scotland hero Darren Fletcher is 12/1.

Scottish FA chief executive Ian Maxwell has stated candidates have already stated their interest as he vowed to cast the net "as far and wide" as possible.

He said: "The process for that (appointing a new manager) starts now. Football's a very, very small world. I've woken up this morning to a few messages from people that are interested in the job.

"I think we're a really attractive job for the right head coach or manager. We've got the Euros that we are co-hosting in 2028 to look forward to.

"Nothing's off the table. We need to cast the net as far and wide as we can. It's about getting the right coach, it's not about necessarily where they come from. There's a lot of good managers out there and it's up to us to make sure that we pick the right one."
