    I helped originally arrange that - wasnt too hot on Scottish buying procedures and thought a 'back-hander' was a local delicacy!

    It is interesting that they're going after the Lyons on this - a bit like how they got Al Capone. They're using money confiscated from criminals to fund a lot of initiatives for young people in Glasgow, and of course using the car owned by Kevin Carroll. I know his neighbours in Cumbernauld would like to see the back of him.
