Anas Sarwar is the favourite to replace Johann Lamont according to Ladbrokes. The interim leader of the party has been installed as the clear 2/1 favourite to replace Lamont in the wake of her resignation, with Kezia Dugdale (4/1), Gordon Brown (5/1) and Jim Muprhy (6/1) seen as the most likely options should Sarwar be looked over for the position on a permanent basis.
Labour are the 7/4 outsiders behind the SNP (2/5) when it comes to winning the most seats at the next Scottish election. It's 5/1 they manage to form a government with an overall majority.
Alex Donohue of Ladbrokes said: "Sarwar's position as interim leader makes him a clear favourite. It would be no surprise at all to see Brown enter contention however given his stellar referendum performance."
