The home of a gangster who sparked Scotland’s violent turf war has been “shot at” in chilling warning.
A firearm was discharged at the family home of the hood who set up the £500k cocaine deal to rip off Dubai-based Mr Big Ross McGill with a payment of fake notes.
It’s understood the man, who we cannot name for legal reasons, has since fled to the Middle East – and a source close to McGill’s henchmen Tamo Junto (TMJ) claims this is a warning for him never to come home.
The Record previously told how the gangster, who arranged the meeting with McGill for associates of Edinburgh mob boss Mark Richardson earlier this year, was slashed in the face during an attack in May.

Since the meeting furious McGill has ordered a series of terrifying revenge attacks on Richardson and his close associates, Glasgow’s Daniel crime clan.
The underworld source claimed McGill’s men are responsible for the recent attack on his home as they issued a chilling threat.
They said: “His home being shot at is a warning for him not to return home to Scotland.
“He is hard to miss with that scar on his face and he thinks he is safe in the United Arab Emirates, but the TMJ lads won’t ever forget he is the one who started all of this.
“Setting up the deal that ripped off McGill is the worst decision he has ever made and the guy is going to have to watch over his back for the rest of his life.”
We previously told how gangland enforcers shared a sickening image of the man after he was brutally attacked.

A source close McGill’s henchmen, Tamo Junto (TMJ), claimed the group tracked the drug deal middleman down to a bolthole in Thailand to carry out the vicious blade attack.
The source said: “McGill got the guy who arranged the deal kidnapped and brought to one of his men who slashed him right across the face.
“He was never going to get away with it. McGill has built up a massive network of connections who are more than willing to help him out.
“The middleman is lucky he wasn’t killed, but McGill was already planning a bigger retaliation.
“He is going to bring down the entire Richardson crew and everyone associated with them.
“What you are seeing playing out on the streets of Scotland now is the result of people thinking McGill is a soft touch and that they could rip him off and get away with it.”

The war broke out in March when a number of homes and businesses linked to Richardson were targeted in the capital.
The violence spread to Glasgow in April after a carpet and flooring unit owned by Daniel enforcer Craig “Rob Roy” Gallagher was torched in Bishopbriggs.
In an attack in the Milton area of the city, a female pensioner and 12-year-old boy were injured after hoods stormed their home looking for a high-ranking member of the Daniel family.
McGill’s men went on to target the home of Steven ‘Bonzo’ Daniel, as well as the properties of his mum Annette, uncle Norman and sister Kelly ‘Bo’ Green.
Two men were then attacked with a machete at a garage owned by Robert Daniel in East Kilbride.
We previously told how McGill was being fed information about the Daniel clan’s movements by their arch enemies, the Lyons family.

But mob boss Stevie Lyons removed himself from the feud amidst a police crackdown on the violence.
Key Lyons clan lieutenants Eddie Lyons Jnr and Ross Monaghan were then assassinated outside Monaghan’s bar in Fuengirola on Saturday, May 31.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Officers are carrying out enquiries after a window was damaged at a property on Walter Scott Avenue, Edinburgh, which was discovered on Friday, 13 June, 2025.”
