The latest video of gangland feud shows a car and a van set on fire in Edinburgh
The luxury SUV is parked in the capital's Campion Road, thought to be outside of the home of an associate of crime kingpin, Mark Richardson, 37, who is currently locked up at HMP Low Moss.
The clip shows the Range Rover on fire while the accompanying music in the 22 second clip is from Frankie Goes to Hollywood's 1988 hit Two Tribes with the lyrics "When two tribes go to war, a point is all that you can score."
The clip then changes to footage of another vehicle, this time a large white Ford Transit van being firebombed as a masked hood runs back from the blaze, before throwing, what appears to be, more fuel over the flames.
The sinister video - shared by mob group Tamo Junto - ends with a picture of a black chess piece and an egg timer, presumably some kind of symbolic warning from one side to the other.

Police say they received a call to say the Ford van was ablaze at around 3:55am and five minutes later the SUV was torched in the targeted attacks.
It's the second time in a matter of weeks that the Campion Road address has been targeted.
We told last month how a masked trio had raided a house in the same street, smashing their way through windows and doors to gain entry.

"Around 3.55am officers were made aware a Ford Transit van was on fire on Niddrie Marischal Crescent.
"Five minutes later, police received a report a Range Rover Evoque on Campion Road was also on fire.

Scots soldier guilty of bar brawl killing in Canada jailed for more than four years
Shock details of the horror ordeal were laid bare in court CORPORAL CAGED Scots soldier guilty of bar brawl killing in Canada jailed for more than four years Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A SCOTS soldier has been sentenced to more than four years in prison for killing a man in a bar in Canada. Corporal Craig Gibson, 30, struck Brett Sheffield three times with an elbow to the head and neck that later resulted in his death. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Corporal Craig Gibson poses for a selfie during a military exercise Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk 4 Canadian police outside the bar in Toronto after the incident in August last year 4 Brett Sheffield was tragically killed following a deadly bar brawl in Toronto Credit: Toronto Police Mr Sheffield, a 38-year-old businessman from Winnipeg, was left critically injured in the attack at a Toronto pub on August 28, 2023. He died two days later in hospital. Gibson, of Dalry, Ayrshire, had pleaded not guilty to a charge of manslaughter at Ontario Superior Court of Justice but was found guilty following a trial in December. The dad-of-one, who was originally charged with second-degree murder, has now been sentenced to four years and four months imprisonment. The soldier, who had served in Iraq and Afghanistan with 4 Scots, known as the Highlanders, was in Canada to take part in a military exercise. He has been dishonourably discharged from the Army following his conviction. CCTV footage from the Locals Only bar was played to the jury at Gibson's trial. It showed Gibson, who was wearing a kilt and Toronto Blue Jays shirt, striking his victim while the pair were standing at the bar. Mr Sheffield was on a business trip with colleagues when he started talking to Gibson at the bar. Their exchanges were initially good-natured but after a disagreement arose Gibson hit Mr Sheffield with his elbow three times. A forensic pathologist testified that the cause of death was a ruptured artery in his neck caused by blunt-force trauma. British Army rocket crews light up the sky in a massive NATO drill Gibson claimed he thought Mr Sheffield was going to stab him during the altercation. He told the court: "I had seen his hand backing up. At the time I was certain he had a knife." However, a jury rejected his claim that he had acted in self-defence. The trial in Toronto heard how Gibson had drunk several shots of whisky as he partied with around a dozen other squaddies in the city before the drunken bust-up occurred. 4 Corporal Craig Gibson has been caged for more than four years for manslaughter Addressing Mr Sheffield's family in court, Gibson, who has no previous convictions, said: "I'm deeply sorry. Mr Sheffield did not deserve to die. "It's something I have to live with for the rest of my life." Sentencing Gibson, Judge Justice Katherine Corrick said what happened was not a bar fight but a "vicious assault with tragic consequences." Prosecutors had recommended a six-and-a-half-year sentence in the case while Gibson's defence team had asked for a jail term of between two and three years. A tribute was paid to Mr Sheffield online by his colleagues at NextGen Drainage, a firm he founded. They said: "Brett Sheffield passed away on August 30 due to a random act of violence. "His absence is felt deeply across the community, our company, and his vast network of friends and colleagues. "Brett's passion for helping every person feel valued and cared for will continue to motivate us."
