The striking photo reveals McGill has transformed himself from a scruffy footie yob to a polished supercar-loving mob boss - said to be making millions from crime.
We can also reveal a newly-surfaced snap of McGill in an unseen snap with former Gers boss Steven Gerrard taken before McGill left his ultras role.
A source said: 'McGill is living a life of luxury with all the usual perks that come with making vast sums from his life of crime.'
The new pictures emerged as cops probe a second machete murder bid linked to the ongoing turf war that's been raging for months.
Officers involved in Police Scotland's Operation Porteladge were yesterday seen at the home of David McMillan, 54, after he was brutally assaulted by armed thugs.

Cops said a 54-year-old man had been rushed to hospital but authorities have not revealed his identity - although underworld sources say McMillan as the victim.
It's thought four or five men dressed in dark clothes and wearing balaclavas, got out a grey-coloured Land Rover Discovery in a brutal ambush.
Officers are treating Wednesday's horror in Pitcairn Grove, Edinburgh, as attempted murder by hoods - said by underworld sources - to be working for McGill.
Detectives are urging the public to contact them if they spotted a Land Rover speeding travelling eastbound along the M8 after the 9pm savagery.
Detective Superintendent Paul Grainger said: 'This has been a targeted attack and we are continuing our enquiries to identify those responsible.
'We know the Land Rover Discovery drove along the M8 eastbound.
'It may have been driven at speed or erratically so I would appeal to any motorists with dash cams to check their footage as the images could be significant to our investigation.
'If anyone has any information regarding this crime, please contact us.'
McMillan is a close pal of caged crime boss Mark Richardson, 38, whose associates have been blamed by McGill for ripping him off over a £500,000 drug deal using fake notes.
It's the third time maurading hoods have struck at the property after two earlier alleged firebomb attacks.
Last night cops investigating the mayhem revealed they'd made five more arrests, taking the total to 41.
Three men aged 18 and one aged 31 were held in connection with alleged fire-raising on May 8 at McMillan's home in Edinburgh.
The 31-year-old man and one of the teens were also charged over another alleged incident at a taxi firm in Stepps, near Glasgow, the same day. They are due at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Monday.
Earlier, a man, 21, was arrested over two murder bids in Glasgow and an alleged fire-raising in nearby Bishopbriggs last month.
The savagery comes days after a machete murder bid on convicted heroin dealer Robert Daniel - a leading member of Glasgow's notorious Daniel crime family who are allied to Richardson.
We told how two men aged 45 and 41 suffered horror wounds when three thugs burst into CS Accident Repair Garage looking for Daniel, 50, but turned their fury on innocent workers.
The culprits pounced on Monday before speeding off in an Audi after 'chopping up' two men who were later rushed to hospital with horrific injuries.

The pair drove four miles to Blantyre, Lanarkshire, then clambered into a red Vauxhall Astra which had followed them to a rendezvous point near a children's nursery before it raced away.
A witness described seeing the mobsters dump the blue Audi in a street, where it was set ablaze just over seven hours later at around 9pm.
An insider said of the latest sickening acts: 'This war is getting much more serious and sinister and what's happened over recent days shows that.
'This attack on McMillan was savage and it feels like the levels of violence used are ramping up.'
We told how the hoods were acting on the orders of desert-based McGill, of East Kilbride, who is said to be connected to bitter Daniel enemies, the Lyons family.
Scotland's top cop this week said the force is determined to create 'a hostile environment' for mobsters involved in an ongoing gang war.

Scotland Chief Constable Jo Farrell told a policing watchdog officers have scoured around 3,000 hours of CCTV footage as part of a massive investigation that's resulted in close to 40 arrests.
She said: 'The public can be assured we are working tirelessly to build cases and are following a number of significant lines of enquiry.'

Raging Scots DJ sparked pool hall brawl after someone mocked his haircut
He brushed off the comments until the unknown man mentioned his deceased father BAR CLASH RAP Raging Scots DJ sparked pool hall brawl after someone mocked his haircut Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A DJ sparked a pool hall brawl after someone made fun of his haircut. Brandon Ross, 23, struck the unknown man with a cue and punched him after raging at being on the end of 'playground banter' about his 'Prince Charming' hairstyle by the man and his friends. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 First offender Ross pleaded guilty today at Glasgow Sheriff Court Credit: john kirkby News group newspapers 2 DJ Brandon Ross caused a pool hall Grammy when someone slagged off his new hair cut Credit: Spindrift The insults then became more personal after the man allegedly made a comment about Ross's dead father. Ross's initial attack erupted in a greater fight which left him in hospital with injuries to his face and hand. First offender Ross pleaded guilty today at Glasgow Sheriff Court to assaulting the man at Glasgow city centre's Reardon's on August 12, 2024. The court heard that Ross was with friends while the unknown man and his acquaintances were at another pool table. Prosecutor Darren Harty stated that a 'disagreement' had taken place between both parties. He said: 'As a result, Ross struck the unknown man with a pool cue to the side of the body in the hip region. 'He thereafter punched him which collided with his face. 'A further much bigger fight then occurred as a result of that after which Ross was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary.' Stephanie Grieve, defending, told the court that Ross was hit with two glasses in the melee. This resulted in a wound to his left ear and damage to tendons in his right hand. Woman loses battle with sisters to keep mum's £420k home for her 'therapy' dogs The lawyer added: 'My client's friends laughed about something the unknown man had said. 'A disagreement took place which resulted in playground insults which included about Mr Ross' Prince Charming hair and socks he was wearing which went on for 30 minutes. 'He brushed it off until there was a comment made about his deceased father. 'He works as a DJ and has had to reduce his work from six nights a week to two nights a week.' Sheriff David Clapham denied Miss Grieve her initial request for an absolute discharge which would have seen the offence scrubbed from Ross's criminal record. The sheriff said: 'When you heard the comments, you should have left. 'Hitting someone with a pool cue is quite wrong and it is also quite wrong that you followed this up with a punch.' Ross, of the city's Mount Vernon, was fined £320.

Four men convicted of bribery and corrupt practices over the awarding of NHS contracts worth £6 million have been jailed. Alan Hush, 68, Adam Sharoudi, 41, Gavin Brown, 48, and Gavin Cox, 60, were convicted following a trial at the High Court in Glasgow which followed an investigation at health boards across Scotland. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The offences, which took place between 2010 and 2017, included bribery, corruption, and other offences under the Proceeds of Crime Act. Hush and Sharoudi were additionally convicted of charges of fraud. Sharoudi and Brown, directors of Ayrshire-based telecommunications firm Oricom Ltd, were jailed for eight years and seven years respectively when they were sentenced at the court on Thursday, the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) said. Hush, who was telecommunications manager at NHS Lothian, was sentenced to eight years in jail, while Cox, who was head of IT and infrastructure at NHS Lanarkshire, was jailed for six years. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad In a sentencing statement later published online, Lord Arthurson said: 'The public are entitled to expect that their fellow citizens will not seek to subvert public officials in the diligent exercise of their duties, and public officials in their turn should know that succumbing to bribery will result in the handing down by the court of immediate and significant custodial terms. 'The reach and character of the corruption and in particular the corrupt relationships engaged in by all of you, when considered as a whole, was on a grand scale.' The trial at the High Court in Glasgow lasted 65 days. 'A betrayal of public trust' Sineidin Corrins, deputy procurator fiscal for specialist casework at COPFS, said: 'This is an outstanding result for justice in Scotland. 'As prosecutors, we have shown an unwavering commitment to pursuing and investigating this matter. This was a betrayal of public trust. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'These four men colluded to create a sophisticated criminal scheme. The public will rightly be shocked by the scale of their criminality. 'The scale of this offending against our public health service is particularly egregious. 'The systematic abuse of position by public officials, who accepted inappropriate benefits including cash, holidays and entertainment in exchange for contract advantages, strikes at the heart of public trust. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'It serves as a reminder that procurement processes exist to ensure fair competition and value for public money. When these processes are corrupted, all of society bears the cost. 'The prosecutorial journey has been complex and demanding. It required forensic examination of thousands of documents, hundreds of witness statements, and detailed financial analyses to establish the full extent of this criminal activity. 'The digital evidence, particularly text messages and emails exchanged between the accused, proved pivotal in exposing the true nature of these arrangements. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'This was a meticulous investigation and one which reflects the enduring partnership working between specialist Crown Office prosecutors, NHS Counter Fraud Services and Police Scotland, who worked tirelessly over many years. 'Their unflinching dedication to serving the interests of justice, regardless of complexity or duration, deserves recognition.' The four men will now be subject to confiscation action under proceeds of crime legislation to recover monies illegally obtained.

Gordon Young, head of NHSScotland Counter Fraud Services at NHS National Services Scotland, said: 'This is a landmark conviction for fraud, bribery and corruption of individuals who sought to exploit the NHS for personal gain. 'This successful prosecution reaffirms NHS Scotland's commitment to safeguarding vital funds for patient care as intended by the taxpayer.

BRUTAL ATTACK Brit, 73, strangled to death with his own belt in his driveway while being robbed of his mobile for 4th time in 6 months Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A 73-year-old British engineer has been strangled to death with his own belt in his driveway after popping down to the pub for a beer. Retired expat Karl Lauks was said to be the 'life and soul' of his adoptive town of Tulbagh 70 miles north of Cape Town, in South Africa. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 A retired British engineer who settled down in South Africa was ambushed in his car driveway Credit: Facebook 3 Karl Lauks, 73, was strangled to death Credit: Jamie Pyatt News Ltd 3 He was said to be the 'life and soul' of his adoptive town of Tulbagh Credit: Facebook On Sunday evening after visiting his local watering hole he went back home. But after parking his car in the drive he was attacked before he could get out from behind the wheel. Lauks was battered into submission and his leather belt taken off him. The killer is said to have used Karl's scarf to silence him by jamming it in his mouth to stop his screams. He is then believed to have wrapped the tragic man's belt around his neck and choked him to death. The cold-blooded killer took Lauks' mobile phone – the fourth one stolen from him in 6 months – the murder weapon, wallet and house keys and left him dead in the car. AC/DC enthusiast Lauks started work in Western Province over 20 years ago, but fell in love with South Africa's fourth oldest town and never returned home. He was originally from Bradford, Yorkshire. His beaten up corpse was only discovered when a neighbour saw his drive gate and car door open on Monday the next day. More to follow...
