BOOKMAKERS are offering odds on Alex Salmond moving to Russia this year.
The former First Minister created a stir last year by launching a new chat show on the RT television channel, which enjoys a cosy relationship with the Kremlin.
Now punters can have a 100/1 gamble on Mr Salmond leaving his home village in Aberdeenshire for a new life in Mother Russia.
McBookie.com is also offering prices on Donald Trump coming north when he visits the UK next month, whether to play golf at one of his courses at Turnberry, Ayrshire, or Menie, Aberdeenshire, visit relatives on Lewis or pose next to Hadrian’s Wall.
McBookie spokesman Paul Petrie said: “Salmond and Trump are two powerful characters that are part of daily discourse across Scotland and it will be fascinating to see where they are in 12 months’ time.
“Many people thought Salmond had crossed a line by joining RT.
“Maybe he’ll go the whole hog now and start afresh in Moscow.
“Everyone knows Trump loves his family and a round of golf – and Scotland has both.”
Meanwhile, it’s 6/1 that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle honeymoon in Scotland.
