Ante Postecoglou is being tipped for the vacant Rangers job with a surge of bets being placed on him taking on the role.

ESPN reported last week he was interested in replacing Pedro Caixinha at Ibrox.

Now he has quit Australia – despite leading them to World Cup qualification.

Oddschecker report odds have been slashed on Postecoglou landing the job, from 25/1 to 3/1.

George Elek, Oddschecker spokesman, told HITC: ”The former Melbourne Victory manager has accounted for 76% of bets in the market this morning, in the next Rangers manager market.

“The sheer amount of money coming for Postecoglou has forced him into third favourite for the role behind McLeish and McInnes.”

Postecoglou is a Greek national but has only worked briefly in European football.

Prior to the Australia national team job he managed Melbourne Victory and Brisbane Roar.

His stint in Europe came in Greece with third division side Panachaiki in 2008, for just one season.
