As Motherwell prepare to begin interviewing contenders to replace Stuart McCall, betting firm McBookie.com reported that the ex-England captain – who was manager at Fir Park between 2002 and 2006 – is now 4-7 favourite for the job. Spokesman Paul Petrie said: “Punters have only been interested in backing Butcher. It would suggest he is on the shortlist and could even be the No 1 target.”
