The video was posted just two days after the joint funeral of Lyons mob lieutenants, Eddie Lyons and Ross Monaghan, who were gunned down in the Spanish city of Fuengirola
Footage has emerged of gangland family the Lyons being mocked by supporters of rival gangsters from behind bars.
‌
A video, which is believed to have been filmed within Edinburgh's Saughton Prison, was posted online on Sunday, July 6, showing six caged hoods with their faces masked.
‌
The 14-second-long clip was captioned "F*** the L mob haha keeman" and showed the unidentified crooks in it making hand gestures to the camera and shouting.
‌
Laughs and chants of "yes" could be heard, while the person believed to be filming the video shouted: "Haha. F*** the L mob! F*** that Lyons mob!".
The video was posted just two days after the joint funeral of Lyons mob lieutenants, Eddie Lyons and Ross Monaghan, who were gunned down in the Spanish city of Fuengirola in May, after watching the Champions League final together.
‌
The account that posted the footage, which we have chosen not to identify, has posted a number of videos in support of the so-called A Team - the group claiming to work for the Daniel crime clan and Edinburgh-based associate Mark Richardson, who is currently behind bars himself.
Jail bosses have refused to say whether the video is being investigated, but it's understood a probe is underway to identify those on the footage - and who filmed it.
‌
A Scottish Prison Service Spokesperson said: "Whilst we do not comment on individuals, we are aware of a video that has been posted to social media.
' Our staff work extremely hard to tackle the introduction of illicit articles, and we are continuously working to reduce their availability and supply across the prison estate.'

Yesterday it emerged that the extradition hearing for Michael Riley, the man accused of gunning down the Scottish gangsters in a Spanish pub, has been delayed.
The 44-year-old has been charged over the double assassination, which took place at Monaghan's Irish Bar in the Costa del Sol city of Fuengirola.
‌
The Spanish authorities are trying to extradite him to Spain so he can go on trial over the killings, which were carried out on the evening of Saturday, May 31, 2025.
Riley, of Huyton, Liverpool, is remanded in custody at Wandsworth Prison and was due to appear at Westminster Magistrates Court on October 9 for his extradition hearing.
‌
But today the court heard that the hearing is now expected to take place at the same court on November 20, five weeks later than originally planned. Another hearing is due to take place in August.
The Lyons crime gang has been at war with the rival Daniel mob for a quarter of a century, with the feud starting in the early 2000s when the Lyons gang were blamed after cocaine belonging to the Daniels was swiped from a safe house during a party.
What followed was decades of tit-for-tat shootings, ambushes and knife attacks. Spanish police said Riley was a member of the Daniel gang, but Police Scotland have denied a link between the murders and their lengthy feud.
