A gangland feud which dates back more than 20 years is the focus of a new BBC Radio 5 Live true crime podcast.
Detectives investigating five murder plots targeting Daniel family associates in 2016/17 found a haul of weapons in a lock-up garage
Anderson and McDonald were placed under surveillance which eventually led officers to a house in the Garthamlock area where a machine gun, grenades and ammunition were discovered.James McDonald and Raymond Anderson later had their record 35-year minimum jail terms reduced to 30 years on appeal "This was their territory. This was where they made profit and they wouldn't stand for it. That couldn't go without some response."Among the early victims were Kevin "Gerbil" Carroll - a major figure in the Daniel clan - and Johnny Lyons, brother of David and Eddie Snr.Then, in November 2006, Carroll allegedly used a 4x4 and a tow rope to topple the headstone of Eddie Snr's son Garry, who was only eight when he died of leukaemia in 1991.
In 2004 he was charged with trying to kill a friend of Eddie Lyons Snr with an AK-47 but the trial later collapsed. If his rivals wanted to target him then they would have to stage an audacious ambush unlike anything that had gone before.Kevin Carroll was shot dead in front of horrified lunchtime shoppers in the car park of Asda, Robroyston, in January 2010Days earlier he had shot and injured Eddie Lyons Jnr on the arm.A trial later heard Carroll, 29, told him: "You're working for me now. Anybody that doesn't fall into line is going to get banged.
On 8 December 2016 his car was rammed by another vehicle before he was chased into a house in Robroyston. Mr Fitzsimmons told jurors he had "no enemies" but jurors heard his older brother was once charged with shooting Ross Monaghan, the man cleared of murdering Carroll in 2010.As he headed home after dropping off friends his Skoda Octavia was deliberately hit by a Volkswagen Golf in Milton.
