Send us Fan MailGlasgow doesn’t just have famous streets and hard weather, it has a gangland history that still echoes in courtrooms, cemeteries, and school gates. We follow one of the city’s most violent organised crime feuds, the battle between the Lyons family and the Daniel crime clan, and how a rumoured missing cocaine stash turns into years of shootings, stabbings, and calculated revenge.We start with a horror-movie image that’s painfully real: gunmen in eerie latex old-man masks walking into a garage and unleashing a hail of bullets. From there, the story widens into ransom demands, whispered threats about “the Piper”, and a police operation that uncovers military-grade weapons and links to stolen arms. This isn’t just a turf dispute, it’s a blueprint for how modern gangland networks intimidate communities while hiding behind silence.Then comes the moment that shocks even seasoned true crime listeners: the daylight execution of Kevin “Gerbil” Carroll in the Robroyston Asda car park, carried out in seconds and followed by a trial where prosecutors list 99 potential suspects. We also track the aftermath, including attacks near primary schools, the death of crime boss Jamie Daniel, and the power vacuum that sparks a new wave of attempted murders, until technology and patient investigation finally help deliver major sentences.If you’re searching for Glasgow true crime, Scottish organised crime history, and the real human cost of gang warfare, press play.
