A Scottish crime boss is reportedly plotting a vicious revenge attack on a rival clan after two of his closest associates were shot dead in Spain earlier this year – with a suspect later arrested in Liverpool.<\/a><\/p>\n

Steven Lyons\u2019 brother, Eddie Lyons Jnr, 43, and his friend Ross Monaghan, 46, were killed at an Irish bar<\/a> co-owned by Monaghan in Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol on May 31. A suspect and extradited back to Spain.<\/p>\n

Scottish police have insisted the murders weren\u2019t planned in Scotland and aren\u2019t linked to any drugs turf war back home. But underworld sources say Lyons, 44, is convinced his rivals in the Daniel family are behind it\u2014and he is now \u201cobsessed with revenge.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cSteven believes the killings in Spain were ordered by the Daniel crew and he won\u2019t be persuaded otherwise,\u201d a source said.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight after Eddie and Ross were killed, he vowed payback. He\u2019s been brooding on it ever since. He\u2019s completely consumed with bloodlust and wants a Daniel head on a plate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lyons\u2019 main target is kingpin Steven \u2018Bonzo\u2019 Daniel, 45. But the source added that Lyons has also reportedly put a price on Zander Sutherland, the son of the late family boss Jamie Daniel, the Daily Record reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cSteven\u2019s been spending all his time working out a plan,\u201d the source said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s told his crew it\u2019s time for payback and he wants bodies. Things are about to get very ugly on the streets of Glasgow. He\u2019s got influence in the jails too and is ready to put money on Zander\u2019s head.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lyons fled Scotland in 2006 after a shooting at Applerow Motors garage in Glasgow left his 22-year-old cousin Michael Lyons dead. He had been living quietly in Dubai, but was forced to leave the UAE in September after being arrested\u2014and later released\u2014alongside warlord Ross McGill, 31, and drug dealer Steven \u2018Larry\u2019 Larwood, 42.<\/p>\n

The trio were under investigation for links to organised crime alongside Stephen \u2018Jimmy\u2019 Jamieson, 42, who is reportedly facing extradition. Lyons\u2019 current whereabouts are unknown.<\/p>\n

Back in July, reports revealed Lyons had spent thousands on cosmetic surgery in an attempt to alter his appearance.<\/p>\n

A source said at the time: \u201cSteven has made millions since fleeing Scotland, so extensive cosmetic work is no issue. His cheeks are noticeably filled, he\u2019s had regular Botox, and his teeth would give Katie Price\u2019s a run for their money.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lyons did not attend his brother and Monaghan’s joint funeral in Glasgow over fears he would be targeted by hitmen.<\/p>\n

The man accused of the Costa del Sol murders, Michael Riley, 44, from Huyton, was arrested on June 14, just two weeks after Monaghan and Lyons were killed. Spanish police believe Riley is an \u201cinternal member\u201d of the Daniel family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man was arrested in Liverpool after two Scottish gangsters were shot dead in Spain John Paul Clark…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":553280,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[748,188,393,4884,1590,16552,179,104,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-553279","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-crime","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-gun-crime","13":"tag-huyton","14":"tag-liverpool","15":"tag-spain","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115503803507483223","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/553279","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=553279"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/553279\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/553280"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=553279"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=553279"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=553279"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
