COSTA HORROR AFTERMATH

- By Mark McGivern

A GANGSTER'S Scottish “golf buddies” were with him in Spain on a sunshine holiday when he was gunned down in a ruthless assassination.

Mob boss Eddie Lyons Jr, 46, was on a trip with pals from Dullatur Golf Club when he was shot dead along with associate Ross Monaghan in the Costa del Sol.

The golfers have been left “traumatised” after being caught up in the mob violence while enjoying their trip to the Spain with Lyons, sources have revealed.

They had joined Eddie Jr at Ross Monaghan’s Irish bar in Fuengirola to watch the Champions League Final on Saturday.

It is understood that some of the golfers were still in the bar when Lyons and Monaghan were executed.

Sources told our sister paper the Daily Record that the golfers have nothing to do with criminality, but saw Eddie as a stalwart member of their golf club.

Prestigious Dullatur Golf Club, near Cumbernauld, has been flying flags at half mast this week as a mark of respect for long-standing member Lyons Jr. The murdered gangland kingpin had previously posed proudly with fellow members in photographs, pictured, that have been shared on social media.
