A car was ploughed into a Glasgow house linked to the Lyons crime clan and set on fire in a gangland revenge attack.
Police are investigating the incident on the property in Barlanark which happened in the early hours of Thursday, June 18. Emergency services were called to the scene after flames spread from the car to the front door of the house.
The Daily Record understands the house targeted is linked to the relative of Lyons gang foot soldiers who cannot be named for legal reasons.
The same house was targeted in February when a vehicle was rammed into the side of the building.
A source told the Record the incident was revenge for a firebomb attack on a business linked to mob boss Mark Richardson’s pal in Edinburgh this week.

They said: “This is clearly revenge for the attack in Edinburgh on Tuesday.
“The Daniel and Richardson mobs are hitting back this year and this is the second time this house has been targeted.
“They weren’t just going to sit back forever and accept this happening.
“The guys they are after are high ranking members of the TMJ mob and have been affiliated to the Lyons family for longer.”
Pictures from the incident show a white Nissan Juke ablaze outside the home. Others show the mangled burnt out vehicle used to ram the property, with debris from inside the house strewn across the garden.
The car appears to have been rammed into the double-window of the living room with the panel and glass completely gone. Scorch marks can be seen on the brickwork above the window this morning.
Officers have taped off the home and the entrance to the street.
A neighbour said two men had parked up on a nearby street an hour before the attack.
They said: “A vehicle parked up in the street behind here about an hour before the car was driven into the house.
“Two guys got out and were mulling about the area for ages but they weren’t exactly being discreet, I even heard one say to the other ‘have you got the petrol.’
“Then all of a sudden we heard an almighty bang from the car being driven into the property.
“They threw a petrol bomb inside the vehicle and ran away into a lane and got back into the car they had arrived here in.”
It comes after earlier this week, kingpin Ross McGill’s Tamo Junto (TMJ) thugs launched a firebomb attack on Edinburgh business linked to mob boss Mark Richardson’s pal.
The Garage Conversion Company on The Wisp was torched in the early hours of Tuesday morning. The unit is owned by Derek Welsh, whose wife Mercedes McMillan is a relative of Mark Richardson’s close pal David McMillan Snr.

Welsh is listed on Companies House as holding directorship in 10 firms across Edinburgh and East Lothian.
McMillan Snr, 55, has previously been targeted at his plush home in Pitcairn Grove in the capital a number of times in incidents linked to Scotland’s gang war.
McGill, 32, launched a gang war in Scotland last year after blaming Richardson’s crew for paying for a £500,000 consignment of cocaine using fake bank notes.
His pal David McMillan was targeted at his home at Pitcairn Grove on April 17 last year when two masked thugs torched his front door while children were sleeping inside.
He was targeted again weeks later when his Land Rover was firebombed on his driveway on May 7.
McMillan was left with a serious injuries when a gang of three men wearing balaclavas turned up outside his home and attacked him with machetes on May 22.
McGill’s TMJ crew also targeted the Daniel crime clan in Glasgow due to their association with Richardson.
High-ranking members of the family, including Steven ‘Bonzo’ Daniel, 46, and Norman ‘Snudge’ Daniel, 73, had their home torched.
The Lyons mob helped McGill by supplying him with information on targets within the Daniel family.
Last month a skip lorry was ploughed into the Edinburgh home of a teenage gangster blamed for sparking Scotland’s drug war.
A Scottish Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said: “We were alerted at 12.39am on Thursday, 18 June, to reports of a dwelling fire on Garvel Crescent, Glasgow.
“Operations Control mobilised three fire appliance to the scene.
“There were no casualties and crews left the scene at 2.32am after ensuring the area was made safe.”
