VIDEOS CIRCULATING ON SOCIAL MEDIA SHOW POLICE AT THE SCENE 15:07, 01 Jun 2025 Two Scots who were gunned down outside an Irish bar have been named as top members of the Lyons crime group.
Sources have said that Ross Monaghan and Eddie Lyons Jnr are the two victims of the horror shooting. The Glasgow men were shot dead outside Monaghan's pub in Fuengirola in the Costa Del
Sol on Saturday evening, May 31, as horrified ex pats and holidaymakers looked on. Javier Salas from the central government in the Malaga province confirmed to BBC News both men were
believed to be Scottish. Regional newspaper Diario Sur reported the attack took place just after 11pm when a car pulled up and a masked man opened fire. They said both men died at the scene,
and the gunman fled in the vehicle. The Record understands the shootings are linked to Scotland's ongoing gangland war. Ross Monaghan is registered as the owner of Monaghan's pub
which looks onto the beachfront in the popular holiday resort. Article continues below Punters were enjoying a drink after the Champions League final was shown on the big screens in the bar.
A masked gunman is reported to have got out of a car that screeched to a halt outside the bar before fleeing the scene in the same vehicle driven by an accomplice. Authorities in Spain say
the first victim was shot in the chest and the second in the chest and abdomen. There are no reports yet of any arrests, although police set up roadblocks in the area after the shooting to
try to catch those responsible. The Record has previously told how the bar was owned by Monaghan who fled to the Costa Del Sol in 2017 after he was the victim of a gun attack outside a
Glasgow primary school. Monaghan is listed as the proprietor of the bar in an online business directory. Monaghan was cleared of the murder of notorious Glasgow hood Kevin 'Gerbil'
Carroll, who was shot dead in a brutal gangland assassination in Asda Robroyston carpark in 2010. Monaghan was tried for the killing, but was acquitted in May 2012. He was also cleared of
attempting to defeat the ends of justice by disposing of the two guns used in the shooting and torching the getaway car. In August 2017 Monaghan and Eddie Lyons Jnr were both cleared of
being involved in a brutal street attack on three men outside the Campsie bar in Bishopbriggs. The brutal ambush left one of the victim's ears hanging off. But, the case collapsed after
prosecutors withdrew the charges against them following two days of evidence. The shock killings come amidst a violent gang war that has been raging in Scotland since March. The feud first
erupted following a fallout between rival gangsters after a £500k stash of cocaine was reportedly swiped from under the nose of Dubai-based Mr Big, Ross McGill. The drugs were reportedly
taken by caged Edinburgh kingpin Mark Richardson's foot soldiers sparking a series of violent attacks on homes and businesses. Mr Big, who was later revealed as former Union Bears capo
McGill waged war on Richardson and his associates, including the Daniels crime clan in Glasgow. Mr Big's enforcers, a faceless and frightening group going by the name of Tamo Junto
(TMJ), have carried out a series of fire bombings and other vicious attacks on homes, businesses and cars associated with Richardson. We reported earlier this week that a well-placed source
said the Dubai-based Mr Big behind attacks on Daniel targets, Ross McGill, had agreed to end hostilities after being leaned on by cartel bosses in Dubai. However gangland enforces Tamo Junto
(TMJ) quickly quashed any talk of peace as they vowed to continue to carry out the turf war. Article continues below
