Lloyd Cross styled himself as a “top boy” among Rangers fan group Union Bears, and he was involved in clashes with police in Slovenia in 2018.
Gangster Lloyd Cross went from football hooligan to international cocaine smuggler alongside one of Scotland’s biggest criminal kingpins, the Record can reveal.
One source told the Record: “Cross saw himself as a top boy in the Rangers support, always at the front of the crowd at away games and always on the look-out for bother. He was the kind who’d revel in a riot.“But all that stopped, presumably when he stepped into the big time in drugs smuggling. He disappeared from Twitter and most traces of him disappeared from social media.
“But even when he appeared at the High Court in Glasgow he drove a Porsche, which sums him up. He’s a guy who liked to be seen to be wealthy and splashing cash.” Cross, who drove to court in a Porsche Cayenne, pled guilty to being involved in the operation run by Stevenson, 59, between January and September 2020. The gang included Gerry Carbin, 45, Ryan McPhee, 34, and Paul Bowes, 53.
