The family of a drug kingpin murdered in a double shooting have spoken out to say their notorious gang rivals are not responsible, according to a bombshell new report.

Ross Monaghan, 43, and Eddie Lyons Jnr, 46, were shot dead by a masked gunman while they were watching Saturday's Champions League final at an Irish pub on the Costa del Sol.

Both men are senior figures in the Glasgow-based Lyons gang, and the incident prompted fears that their deadly rivals, the Daniels, were behind the hit.

The two crime families have been locked in a bloody feud that has seen a series of tit-for-tat killings over more than two decades.

Saturday's hit also coincides with an ongoing gang war in Edinburgh and Glasgow that has seen scores of firebombings and beatings - apparently targeting the Daniels and their associate, Mark Richardson.
