Mr Big's gangland enforcers claim credit for mansion firebombing after hoods gunned down in Spain
A posh Scots home was targeted just minutes after the masked gunman pulled the trigger and then fled the scene in the same car which had ferried him to the planned execution.
Mr Big's gangland enforcers have claimed credit for a mansion house firebombing which took place moments after high-ranking members of the Lyons crime clan were gunned down on Spanish soil.
Key Lyons lieutenants Eddie Lyons Jnr and Ross Monaghan were assassinated outside Monaghan's bar in Fuengirola on Saturday night.
A posh Scots home in the Renfrewshire village of Bridge of Weir was torched just minutes after the masked gunman pulled the trigger in the Costa Del Sol.
Tamo Junto (TMJ) - the faceless gang linked to Dubai-based Mr Big Ross McGill - have since taken credit for the attack as they released a picture of the blaze alongside a chilling threat.
But despite being known for showcasing their attacks online, TMJ have so far failed to comment on the planned executions in Spain - which are thought to be the first major retaliations against McGill's war.
In their latest release, Tamo Junto wrote: "If you write stuff about us online or try to organise violence against us. We will target you and your family.
"Don't steal from us. Don't threaten us. Don't switch on us.
"Or we will relentlessly come after you."
Firefighters from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service extinguished the blaze on Saturday night, which resulted in a window being smashed and the property suffering smoke damage.
Enquiries are ongoing into the Saturday, May 31 blaze, in the town's Kilbarchan Road. It is being investigated by officers from Paisley CID, who were said at the weekend to be investigating whether it is linked an ongoing gang war.
McGill has been waging war on Mark Richardson's crime mob from Edinburgh and the Daniel clan from Glasgow since March after he was ripped off in a £500,000 cocaine deal when the buyer used fake bank notes.
A number of incidents have taken place in Glasgow, Edinburgh and surrounding areas in recent weeks, with private homes and business premises targeted.
The feud involves the Lyons-linked Dubai-based former Rangers ultra McGill and associates of Edinburgh cocaine kingpin and Daniel associate Mark Richardson.
A number of people have been arrested and charged in connection with previous incidents in the feud, which has been plaguing Scotland's biggest cities since earlier this year, following a drug deal.
On Friday we told how Tamo Junto vowed to carry on their turf war despite reports of a truce between the Lyons and Daniel families.
We reported earlier that a well-placed source had said the McGill had agreed to end hostilities after being leaned on by cartel bosses in Dubai.
They were said to be 'unhappy' over a police crackdown on the turf war which has led to a slowdown in the lucrative drug trade in Scotland.
However, McGill's Tamo Junto gang then released a video saying the war will continue.
Speaking following the blaze at the home in Bridge of Weir, Detective Sergeant Kenny Taggart confirmed no one had been injured as he appealed for information.
Police Scotland has arrested 41 people in connection with a series of linked incidents across the country since March.

Russian attacks on Ukraine kill at least 10 people, most of them in Kyiv
Russia fired 352 drones and decoys overnight, as well as 11 ballistic missiles and five cruise missiles, Ukraine's air force said. Air defences intercepted or jammed 339 drones and 15 missiles before they could reach their targets, a statement said. The strikes came nearly a week after a Russian attack killed 28 people in Kyiv, 23 of them in a residential building that collapsed after a direct missile hit. Russian forces for several months have been trying to drive deeper into Ukraine as part of a summer push along the 620-mile front line, though the Institute for the Study of War said progress has failed to make significant gains. 'Russian forces are largely relying on poorly trained infantry to make gains in the face of Ukraine's drone-based defence,' the Washington-based think tank said late Sunday. Russia also has pounded civilian areas with long-range strikes in an apparent attempt to weaken Ukrainian morale. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky said preliminary data indicated that Russian forces used North Korean missiles in the Kyiv strike. He called Russia, North Korea and Iran, which has provided drones to Russia, a 'coalition of murderers'. Mr Zelensky said Ukraine's defence and new ways to pressure Russia will be the two main topics in his visit to the United Kingdom on Monday. Mr Zelensky is set to meet with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer ahead of this week's Nato summit in The Hague. French foreign minister Jean-Noel Barrot said the latest strikes demonstrated Russia's 'unlimited cruelty' by deliberately aiming at civilian targets, and promised more European sanctions on Moscow. Drones and missiles hit residential areas, hospitals and sports infrastructure in numerous districts across Kyiv, emergency services said. The most severe damage was in Shevchenkivskyi district, where a section of a five-story apartment building collapsed. Six people were killed in the district, Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said. Ten others, including a pregnant woman, were rescued from a nearby high-rise that also sustained heavy damage. Dozens of vehicles were burned or mangled by flying debris. The Russian attack also damaged the entrance to the Sviatoshyn subway station in Kyiv, slightly injuring two people, said Timur Tkachenko, the head of Kyiv's military administration. He said more than 30 people were injured across the city. Underground subway stations have served as shelters for those seeking protection from aerial attacks. During almost nightly strikes, stations across Kyiv are often filled with people waiting out the danger. Elsewhere in Ukraine, a Russian short-range drone attack killed two people and wounded 10 more in the Chernihiv region late on Sunday, authorities said. Three children were among the wounded, according to the regional administration head, Viacheslav Chaus. Another person was killed and eight wounded overnight in the city of Bila Tserkva, around 53 miles south west of the capital. Meanwhile, Russia's Defence Ministry said its air defences shot down 23 Ukrainian drones overnight into Monday.

Horror in Majorca as at least five bodies with hands and feet shackled are plucked from water off Brit holiday island
SEA OF DEATH Horror in Majorca as at least five bodies with hands and feet shackled are plucked from water off Brit holiday island Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AT least five bodies have been recovered on the beach of a popular tourist island in Spain. Police are investigating the chilling discovery of people found dead at sea in Majorca with their hands and feet tied up. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Five bodies were tragically found at sea in Majorca Credit: Getty They are believed to be migrants who tried to reach the Spanish coastline via a dangerous crossing from Algeria - a route that claims hundreds of lives each year. In 2024, 517 people died while crossing from Algeria into Spain, according to the NGO Caminando Fronteras. The fact these bodies were found shackled has led cops to suspect they were murdered for unknown reasons. Cops have opened an investigation into their horrific deaths.

The bodies were discovered last month, but the police maintained total secrecy about the investigations. One of the bodies was spotted floating in the sea by a private Belgian-flagged vessel sailing in waters west of Formentera on May 18. The patrol boat of the Civil Guard Río Segura arrived at the scene, which despite being based in the Canary Islands had moved to the Balearic Islands to carry out patrol services. The crew members of the Río Segura then went to a point marked by the Belgian boat and about two hours later they located the lifeless body floating in the sea. When the Civil Guards recovered the man's body they discovered that his hands and feet were tied and that he was wearing an orange life jacket. Brits warned 'don't drink beer' as 42C African heat plume strikes Spain The Civil Guard patrol boat transferred the body to the vicinity of Cap de Barbaria, south of Formentera, where it was transferred to a boat that took it ashore. The body was later examined by Civil Guard agents and a forensic doctor, in an attempt to clarify the circumstances of the death. A few days later, another body was also spotted in the waters of Formentera. In total, at least five bodies have been found with their hands and feet tied, floating in different parts of the waters of the Balearic Islands. All of them are presumed to be migrants who were travelling in a boat. The procedure provided for cases of violent deaths has been activated. The corpses are examined by Civil Guard agents and forensic doctors, who take necrofingerprints (if the state of the body allows it) or DNA samples. Civil Guard investigators suspect that the migrants who appeared tied hand and foot may have had a confrontation during the crossing. They would then have been handcuffed and thrown into the sea - which would point to clear cases of murder. The Balearics have lately recorded the highest number of boat arrivals. Between June 20 and June 22, security forces and Maritime Rescue teams intercepted and rescued a total of 344 people who were trying to reach the coasts of the archipelago in precarious boats. On Friday. 195 people were counted, while on Saturday, 106 were recorded and on Sunday, June 22nd, another 39. The authorities are keeping surveillance devices active in the event of new arrivals. At least 2,695 people have so far arrived in the archipelago in 130 boats, according to data from the regional government. Over the past six months, around 30 bodies have washed up on Balearic beaches, including in Mallorca, Ibiza and Formentera - beaches that have been dubbed as "a graveyard" by a leading Spanish newspaper.
