THREE members of a Scots supergang have been locked up after a campaign of murder and violence.
Barry Harvey, Thomas Guthrie and Darren Owen were found guilty after a mammoth 12-week trial at the High Court in Glasgow.
Former footballer-turned-assassin Harvey was convicted of gunning down gym boss Gary More, 32, on the doorstep of his home in Airdrie, in September 2018.
The 35-year-old - called a cold-blooded killer by prosecutors was paid for the hit, splashing out some of the money on a new set of "Turkey teeth".
Harvey was also later involved in a murder bid on drug dealer Scott Bennett, 43, who was shot outside a vets in Rutherglen in December that year.
Guthrie, already serving a life sentence for being the getaway driver in the More killing, was convicted for his role in the Bennett attack. The 27-year-old was separately found guilty of the attempted murder of lawyer Joe Shields, 68, outside his office, close to Glasgow Sheriff Court, in July 2018.
Owen, 23, was found to have murdered Rafal Lyko, 36, whose remains were discovered in a burned-out Mercedes in Blantyre in February 2019.
Co-accused Thomas Wilson, 26, was found not guilty of murdering Mr Lyko.
Owen was further convicted of being part of the shooting of Bennett.
It is believed the gang are linked to notorious brothers Barry and James Gillespie, whose crime network once spanned the globe. Former Partick Thistle youth player Harvey was caged as a teenager in 2007 for nine years for a savage knife attack on Thomas McCairns.
The hitman was described to a court as being an "enforcer" and "top dog" while "subservient" Guthrie did his bidding.
Judge Lord Clark told the trio yesterday: "By the verdict of the jury, you have been convicted of very serious offences.
