Englishman Ian Baraclough, pictured, was sacked on Wednesday following the Steelmen’s 3-2 League Cup loss at the hands of Duffy’s Ton side.

And SPFL sponsors Ladbrokes rate the 56-year-old former Dundee and Hibs gaffer as a 16/1 shot to take over the Fir Park hotseat, while online bookmakers Bet Victor and Sky Bet have priced him at 20/1 and 25/1 respectively.

Duffy, though, shrugged off the news, saying: “I’ve got no concern about anything like that.

“Whether people think ‘he’s doing alright’ or ‘he’s hopeless’ is not something I really think about.

“At the end of the day, if you worry about what people think, you’ll drive yourself into an asylum.

“You have to become very single-minded as a manager, know your job and stick true to what you believe and go for it.

“I’m only interested in the Rangers game and I’ll let the bookies make their choices on who they think are possible candidates. I’m probably 100/1 to win Big Brother, so it doesn’t matter!” l Meanwhile, Morton chief executive Gillian Donaldson has confirmed ticket sales are going well for the Rangers game but that there are still some available and they will be on sale at Cappielow between 10am and 2pm today and Smiths Sports during normal opening hours.
