TWO brothers were jailed for their part in a brutal attack on a dad-of-three on the day of an Old Firm match.

Grant Murray. 20, who was convicted of attempting to murder 38-year-old James Martin by repeatedly kicking and stamping on him as he lay motionless on the ground, was sentenced to eight years detention.

The High Court in Glasgow heard that Mr Martin's jaw was split in two by the force of the blows.

His brother Graham Murray, 30, was convicted of assaulting Mr Martin by punching him on the head and causing him to fall to the ground and assaulting his son Jordan Martin by punching him on the head and body and pursuing him.

He was sentenced to 11 months in prison.

The assaults took place at High Street, Newarthill, Motherwell, on February 1 after an Old Firm League Cup-semi-final.

The sickening violence was witnessed by Mr Martin's son, 18-year-old Jordan Martin.

Jordan told the court that he called 999 and then flagged down a passing car which was driven by his aunt Pamela Hughes who gave first aid until an ambulance arrived.

As Ms Hughes tended her brother, Grant Murray shouted at her: "It was me, it was me. What are you going to do?" The court heard that minutes earlier Murray's brother Graham Murray, 30, had punched Mr Martin to the ground.

Graham Murray was convicted of assaulting Mr Martin by punching him on the head and causing him to fall to the ground.

His brother Grant Murray was also found guilty of assaulting Jordan Martin by punching him on the head and body and pursuing him.
