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. 9 Forensics search Pitcairn Grove in Edinburgh after the latest turf war machete attack.

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. 9 David McMillan was rushed to hospital after being set upon by an armed mob.

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. 9 Chief Constable Jo Farrell has pledged to tackle the warring gangs.

She said: 'The public can be assured we are working tirelessly to build cases and are following a number of significant lines of enquiry.'
