The former Dons captain has moved ahead of Livingston boss David Martindale in the race to succeed Steven MacLean, who was dismissed on Sunday, in the latest odds from bettingsites.co.uk.
Former Celtic and Hibernian boss Neil Lennon has been installed as third favourite with former Saints bosses Tommy Wright, Callum Davidson and Owen Coyle also named among the contenders.
