A Scottish<\/a> gangster was pictured with members of Oasis<\/a> and other A-list stars backstage at the band’s reunion gigs.<\/p>\n

Robert Kelbie was pictured rubbing shoulders backstage with Noel Gallagher, guitarist Gem Archer, and former Doctor Who star Matt Smith at their first comeback shows in Cardiff.<\/p>\n

He also shared a video of himself on Instagram at the gig to the soundtrack of the Oasis hit Stay Young alongside the caption: “#oasis #oasismania what a great night. They’re definitely a must see.”<\/p>\n

Kelbie, who in 2012 admitted to a \u00a3145k mortgage fraud, previously met Noel at pal Tyson Fury’s world title fight at Wembley Stadium in 2022, the Daily Record reports.<\/a><\/p>\n

He also hung out backstage with the rock star in January 2023, when he was pictured chatting to him. He had captioned that post “Main man” alongside an electric guitar emoji.<\/p>\n

Then in 2024 Kelbie was again pictured with Noel and boxer Josh Taylor at a swanky event.<\/p>\n

Previously, an underworld source told the Record: “Seeing Kelbie hanging out with Noel Gallagher you would think he was a rock star himself. They know each other from watching boxing before.<\/p>\n

“Robert is well-connected in that world, so he’s often to be found hanging out with celebs. Who says crime doesn’t pay?”<\/p>\n

Kelbie, now a boxing promoter, is a known enemy of caged cocaine kingpin Mark Richardson, 38.<\/p>\n

Richardson is currently behind bars, while his associates – including the notorious Daniel Clan – are in a bloody turf war with Dubai-based Ross “Miami” McGill and a group known as Tamo Junto.<\/p>\n

Kelbie was shot in the back outside a Bannatyne’s Health Club in Edinburgh in 2010.<\/p>\n

In 2013, a volley of bullets were fired at the hood’s home, which was fortified with spiked railings and CCTV cameras.<\/p>\n

He was again targeted by a shooter in Ratho Station in September 2016.<\/p>\n

His new red carpet lifestyle comes as Scotland’s gangland war involving Richardson explodes.<\/p>\n

The ongoing feud was sparked after Richardson’s men bought \u00a3500k of cocaine from McGill with fake cash.<\/p>\n

Homes, cars and businesses belonging to associates of Richardson have been hit in a series of firebombings – with enforcers also going after the Glasgow Daniel crime clan.<\/p>\n

Police have arrested 52 people so far in connection with the escalating turf war.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Robert Kelbie took photos of himself rubbing shoulders with A-listers at the band’s reunion showsRobert Kelbie with Noel…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":250679,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3940],"tags":[4080,1102,77,25182,25181,712,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-250678","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-edinburgh","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-noel-gallagher","12":"tag-oasis","13":"tag-scotland","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114823161917959493","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250678","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=250678"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250678\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/250679"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=250678"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=250678"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=250678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
