It's 4/1 he celebrates his victory with a trip to a curry house. The racing enthusiast is 50/1 to own a winner of the Scottish Grand National in his lifetime and despite being pals with Sean Connery it's 500/1 he appears in a James Bond film at any time.Whilst Salmond may be celebrating Labour are currently on hunt for a new leader and the initial bookies favourite is Jackie Bailey at 2/1.

The victory for the SNP is predicted to have cost the industry up to £1million in total.Ladbrokes spokesperson Alex Donohue said: "Legions of punters will be raising a glass to Salmond tonight. They never lost faith and his party's victory has cost us thousands."Bailey is our early favourite to take over in the Labour hot seat but faces stiff competition from Henry. We've also seen money for Lamont and at this stage it still looks wide open."
