Detective Superintendent Jim Kerr, Senior Investigating Officer in the case, said: "We welcome the conviction of David Scott.

"This was a pre-planned, cold blooded murder of a young man in the middle of a busy area, and despite being targeted, was an act which was cowardly and without regard for any innocent bystanders who may have been in the vicinity.

"This type of violence involving illegal firearms will not be tolerated and regardless of who is involved, no one should be on our streets discharging them.

"Organised crime is a serious issue that affects individuals, communities and businesses across Scotland.
