Spain boozer where Scots gangsters were shot dead reopens under new name
Monaghans in Fuengirola will welcome punters again after a new bar boss stepped in to run the newly-named Irish Rover ROVERS RETURN Spain boozer where Scots gangsters were shot dead reopens under new name Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE BOOZER where two Scots hoods were shot dead in a gangland bloodbath has reopened under a new name - three weeks after the Spain massacre. Monaghans bar in Fuengirola will welcome punters again after a new bar boss stepped in to run the newly-named Irish Rover. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Monaghans ber pictured before the murders of Ross Monaghan and Eddie Lyons Jnr 5 A message posted on the bar's Facebook page reveals plans to reopen. 5 Eddie Lyons Jnr 5 Ross Monaghan Credit: The Scottish Sun A message on the pub's social media reveals the new landlord is looking forward to pulling pints at the beachside sports bar where Lyons gang kingpins Ross Monaghan, 43, and Eddie Lyons Jnr, 46, were slaughtered. A post read: 'The Rover Returns! Join Clive and all the team when the doors open this coming weekend at the new Irish Rover! 'Clive, a well known pub landlord in the area, with over 26 years in the game decided to give it another go, and looks forward to welcoming his customers old and new on his new adventure!' The relaunch comes after we revealed workers have removed the sign named after murdered Monaghan whose alleged killer now faces an extradition fight. Workers removed foot-high gold lettering spelling out his surname just 12 days after he and fellow Scots gangster Lyons were assassinated on the Costa del Sol. Pictures showed a specials board advertising home-made soup lying on a table inside, as well as a branded banner and parasols that previously stood on the terrace. A source said at the time: 'No-one knows if they are planning to re-open, but it does look like there's been some work done to the property.' Monaghan's involvement in the business prompted Scottish Tory leader Russell Findlay to call for tighter controls to stop mobsters using supposedly respectable firms to launder dirty cash. He said: 'The Spanish and Scottish authorities should be asking how a known member of a major international drugs gang appeared to have the ownership of a prominent business which literally had his name above the door? 'A guy like that should never have had the ability to put his name on assets for which the only source of funding has been drugs.' Spanish cops insist hitman who executed Ross Monaghan & Eddie Lyons Jr killer WAS member of rival Daniel clan The Lyons gang kingpins had been part of a group watching the Champions League footie final on May 31 when the killer struck. Graphic CCTV footage aired by Spanish broadcasters showed Monaghan crawling on his hands and knees in a bid to flee the hitman, before collapsing against a wall. The horrifying film shows blood from a wound near his heart soaking through his white t-shirt. 5 CCTV shown on Spanish TV captured the moment the shooter storms in. We told how a captured mobile phone holds the key to proving the assassinations in Spain of two Scots crime kingpins are linked to their Daniel gang rivals, sources claim. Cops are understood to have seized the mobile from an alleged hitman suspected of shooting dead the duo. Insiders say it contains data allegedly linking Michael Riley, 44, to Daniel hoods who Spanish detectives reckon are behind the double slaying. Crimefighters appear at odds over who ordered the hit - with Scots officers insisting there is 'no intelligence' linking it to the gangland turf war here.

Mob targeted in Edinburgh gang war recruit new enforcer to replace slain gangster
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info A mob caught up in the ongoing Edinburgh gang war have warned they have recruited a new enforcer. A new group calling themselves the "A Team" recently hit back at those orchestrating a series of firebombings and shootings in Edinburgh and Glasgow and laughed-off recent incidents. A number of chilling threats have been issued from the Daniel and Mark Richardson outfit on social media as they say a new enforcer has been recruited to replace slain Kevin "Gerbil" Carroll. Earlier in the week they said "bullets win" and warned retribution was coming the way of Dubai-based gangster Ross McGill who is believed to be behind continuous attacks across the central belt. As the Record reports, the threats have been issued in wake of the double-murder of Eddie Lyons Jnr and Ross Monaghan in Spain. A message from the "A Team" told rival operatives: "You allegedly got rid of this man out of total fear. RIP, Gerbil. He would have terrorised you. A real soldier, like our new friend who has replaced him." In a series of mocking posts they branded former Rangers "ultra" McGill a "keyboard gangster" who was engaged in "school boy" attacks via his TMJ gang. Another message read: "Take your wannabe joke of a clan and come back when you are all man enough to handle stuff like men." Feared Daniels enforcer Kevin "Gerbil" Carroll was gunned down in 2010 as he sat in the back seat of an Audi in the Asda car park in Robroyston. The son-in-law of mobster Jamie Daniel was known for kidnapping and torturing rival drug dealers in attacks dubbed "alien abductions". Ross Monaghan was arrested over the shooting but was acquitted after a judge at the High Court in Glasgow ruled there was insufficient evidence to convict him. William 'Buff' Paterson, 45, was later convicted of the murder in 2015 and sentenced to a minimum of 22 years in prison. Earlier this week the Record revealed around a dozen senior members from the Daniel clan and Richardson mob had fled Scotland. An underworld source said: "Nobody knows exactly where they have gone or how long for but most of them are believed to be in Dubai and the rest are in the Costa del Sol. Join Edinburgh Live's Whatsapp Community here and get the latest news sent straight to your messages "The TMJ gang were watching closely and hoping to catch one of them out in the open but all of a sudden they just upped sticks and left." The move came after Spanish cops blamed the double execution of Lyons Jnr and pal Ross Monaghan on "an internal member of the Daniel gang". Assistant Chief Constable Stuart Houston said: "We have been assisting Spanish colleagues with their investigation into the fatal shootings in Fuengirola. "We are not aware of any current evidence which suggests the deaths of these two men in Spain are linked to the recent criminal attacks in Scotland being investigated as part of Operation Portaledge." Michael Riley, 44, appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court in connection with the shooting in Spain on Thursday. The total number of arrests in connection with the investigation Operation Portaledge is 48.
