Younger brother of feuding Scottish gang boss beaten up at Oasis gig
The younger brother of jailed cocaine kingpin Mark Richardson has been beaten up after an Oasis gig in Edinburgh.
Reports suggest Dale Richardson (37) was targeted by a group of young men in their early twenties who jumped him after the concert at Murrayfield Stadium earlier this month.
While his brother is in jail, Dale is a 'quiet guy who coaches football', a source told Edinburgh Live.
'He's not a gangster but I think he's getting himself involved with stuff where he's going to end up badly hurt or worse."

Richardson's rivals then taunted him with a new video that referred to the incident.
A clip playing the Manchester band's classic hit 'Roll with it' was posted online by Mystery Tamo Junto (TMJ) alongside the caption, 'did Dale enjoy Oasis?' and a laughing emoji.
The TMJ work for Dubai-based mobster Ross McGill who is engaged in a bitter feud with Richardson that has led to a series of violent incidents across Scotland.
According to Edinburgh Live, the Richardson mob has been terrorised by TMJ 'for months' with associates of caged Richardson targeted in an ongoing turf war with Dubai-based 'Mr Big' McGill
In November 2021 Dale Richardson was attacked by George 'Dode' Baigrie in the middle of a Tesco supermarket in Gracemount.
Baigrie who had been warned by police earlier that day there were threats to his safety went out armed with a machete and carried out the brutal assault in front of terrified shoppers.
He was jailed for 15 years in February 2025.
Dale was again targeted in the ongoing gang war when his home was damaged in May.
This latest incident at the concert follows an arson attack on a private hire firm on Gorgie Road carried out by Tamo Junto, the gang behind a series of fire bombings and retribution attacks across Edinburgh and Glasgow.
Tamo Junto later boasted about the incident in a video, saying: "Your friends stole from us and we aren't going away. There are a lot more of us than you think."
A series of shootings and fire bombings have rocked Edinburgh since March after an associate of Richardson ripped off McGill in a £500,000 cocaine deal paid for with fake notes.
The gang's online taunt
In June the TMJ mob vowed to continue their turf war for 'years to come' in what they said was their final video warning.
The message issued to The Scottish Sun went on to have a pop at cops who have now made 57 arrests as part of Operation Portaledge – the crackdown on the raging war that has included fire bombings, shooting and attempted murder bids.
It added: 'We will continue our pursuit against the gremlins regardless of Operation Portaledge for many years to come.
'This is the final video we will be releasing. There will never be another video created by TMJ again.
'Don't steal from us. Don't snitch on us. Don't pretend to be us. Or we will target you relentlessly. TMJ accept no imitations.'
The end of the PR campaign came days after Police Scotland Chief Constable Jo Farrell warned 'we are coming for you'.
Richardson's associates include members of Glasgow's Daniel Clan who are believed to have helped rip off McGill with £500,000 of fake cash for a cocaine shipment.
The Daniel Clan's deadly rivals, Lyons gang have reportedly been giving McGill, a former Rangers football ultras 'capo', information on the Edinburgh-based gangsters as he conducted his campaign of revenge.
He is alleged to have ordered knife attacks, shootings and firebombing that sparked a tit-for-tat gangland clash.
Two top 'Lyons' gang figures Ross Monaghan, 43, and Eddie Lyons Jnr, 46, were shot dead in Spain last May, having watched the Champions League final at Monaghan's bar in Fuengirola.

Huge Irish band announce TWO Christmas shows in Ireland – here's how you can nab tickets
Get ready for a special Christmas show like no other THIS XMAS Huge Irish band announce TWO Christmas shows in Ireland – here's how you can nab tickets PICTURE This has announced two major Christmas gigs in Ireland - and fans are buzzing. The Dublin rockers are back — and they're bringing the party for Christmas with two huge shows that'll light up Belfast and Dublin this December. 2 Picture This have announced TWO shows in Ireland this Christmas 2 Picture This will make their homecoming in Dublin's 3Arena After smashing it at their sold-out headline gig in St Anne's Park this June, the lads are gearing up to hit the SSE Arena, Belfast on December 27. The Take My Hand singers will then make a long-awaited homecoming at the 3Arena, Dublin on December 29. Having just toured four new coastal spots in Ireland for the first time ever - the band are bringing the new show straight to the capital. Tickets go on sale this Friday, August 22, at 10am, with prices starting from €52.55 for Dublin and £41.90 for Belfast. So if you're looking for that perfect Christmas gift a few months early - get ready to grab them quick! The band recently dropped a brand-new single, Heart Over Head. The new tune is a fresh take on a German smash hit with artist Joris. The track blends their signature anthemic alt-pop with Joris's folk-pop vibes, creating a powerful new anthem. This summer Ireland has been jam-packed with exciting gigs, the most recent being Oasis reunion extravaganza in Croke Park. Oasis went Supersonic as 80,000 fans descended on Croke Park last weekend for their final gig of the tour. Bitter Oasis feud 'buried once and for all' as Noel Gallagher heaps praise on younger brother Liam for 'smashing it' on reunion tour Superstars Liam and Noel Gallagher took over Dublin's home of GAA — putting on explosive set of shows before bidding the capital farewell. Fans flocked to the capital early to enjoy a day out in the summer sunshine before making the pilgrimage to Croker to see Oasis. Bucket hat wearers were then treated to a string of Britpop hits from the Manchester duo, with a number of celebrities also spotted enjoying the hottest ticket of the year. TRUE LIAM STYLE They include newlywed Derry Girls star Saoirse-Monica Jackson and her DJ hubby Denis Sulta, who tied the knot on Friday. Swaggering out on to the Croker stage, Liam screamed: 'Dublin vibes in the area!' And just like on Saturday, Liam dedicated a hit — this time Fade Away — to Charlestown, Co Mayo, where mum Peggy is from. But the star was left fuming after being booed when he asked: 'Anyone here from Mayo?' And before jumping into Roll With It, Liam admitted he needed to learn to shut up on stage. He laughed 'Apparently, I've been yapping too much, getting myself in trouble for having a f***ing opinion!'

Former Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams donates his €100k BBC defamation case damages
The move was disclosed yesterday by his solicitors The move was disclosed yesterday by his solicitors, almost three months after a High Court jury in Dublin found the former Sinn Féin leader had been defamed by a 2016 BBC programme and a BBC website article containing allegations he sanctioned the murder of ex-party official Denis Donaldson. Mr Adams (76) denied any involvement in the killing and sued over the Spotlight programme and the article. The corporation confirmed in June it would not be appealing the outcome of the case, which has left it facing legal costs estimated at around €3m. A statement issued by Johnsons Solicitors, the law firm that represented Mr Adams, said it could confirm the BBC had discharged the order of the court in relation to damages awarded by the jury. 'Mr Adams said at the outset of his defamation case against the BBC that he intended to donate any damages awarded to good causes,' the statement said. 'Donations have been made to Unicef for the children of Gaza, local An Cumann Lúthchleas Gael, An Cumann Cabhrach, to the Irish-language sector, to the homeless and Belfast-based youth, mental health and suicide prevention projects and others.' An Cumann Cabhrach is an organisation that provides support for families of republican prisoners and IRA volunteers who lost their lives during the Northern Ireland conflict. Mr Donaldson (55), a former Sinn Féin administrator in Stormont, was shot dead at a remote cottage in Glenties, Co Donegal, in April 2006 - four months after he admitted to having been an informer for police and MI5 since the 1980s. At the time, Mr Adams was Sinn Féin president and TD for Louth, but he has since retired from frontline politics. Mr Adams denied any knowledge or involvement in the killing and described the programme as 'a grievous smear'. The BBC argued that words used did not mean that Mr Adams sanctioned the murder and that it had merely published an allegation made by a former British agent, known only as Martin, who infiltrated Sinn Féin and the IRA. It said that it had been left up to viewers and readers to decide. The BBC also argued that Mr Adams was not entitled to damages due to his reputation as having been an IRA leader, something he has always denied. However, a jury found the words meant that Mr Adams sanctioned and approved the murder. It also found the BBC's actions had not been in good faith and that it had not been fair and reasonable to publish the allegation. Mr Adams' legal team said the verdict was a 'full vindication' for their client, while the BBC said it was 'disappointed' with the outcome. After the verdict, Mr Adams said taking the case 'was about putting manners on the BBC', a comment that was described as 'chilling' by Seamus Dooley, the Irish secretary of the National Union of Journalists.
