Appeals fail for killers serving record terms
James McDonald, 36, and Raymond Anderson, 48, were sentenced to life with a minimum of 35 years for the shooting of Michael Lyons, 21, at a garage in the Lambhill area of the city in December 2006.
Mr Lyons died and two other men were injured when gunmen, wearing "old men" masks and dark, three-quarter length coats, entered the Applerow MOT centre and opened fire. It was suspected the murder had been part of a war between the notorious Daniel and Lyons crime families.

Hide AdMcDonald and Anderson had denied involvement but were found guilty by a jury. The judge, Lord Hardie, described it as "a cold-blooded, premeditated execution" and handed down the longest sentences in Scotland.
Appeals by both men against the length of their sentences have still to be heard.
