A plane flew a banner over Hampden during the Old Firm cup final demanding “justice” for a gangster jailed for murder.
The banner, which read “Justice for Morton Eadie”, appeared in the skies above the Glasgow stadium on Sunday.
It’s believed to relate to Eadie’s conviction over the shooting of Kenny Reilly in the city’s Maryhill area in April 2018.
Eadie, 56, along with his son Darren Eadie, 31, John Kennedy, 42, and Ross Fisher, 31, were sentenced to minimum terms of imprisonment totalling 94 years over the slaying.
Last July we told the four men had gone to the Court of Criminal Appeal in Edinburgh to overturn their guilty verdicts.
Lawyers for the men, who come from Glasgow, believed their clients had suffered a miscarriage of justice and lodged appeals against their convictions and sentences.
The aircraft with the banner was photographed above the stadium where Celtic beat Rangers 2-1 to retain the Viaplay Cup.
A trial heard how Kennedy was the shooter and Reilly was targeted as he sat in a car at traffic lights with a friend.
Jurors watched CCTV of the brutal murder which showed Kennedy exit the rear of a Ford S-Max and fire six shots from an automatic pistol towards a BMW which Reilly was in.
Kennedy was ordered to serve a minimum of 26 years for the shooting while Darren Eadie was handed 24 years.
Morton Eadie and Fisher were each ordered to serve at least 22 years.
The gang fled to locations such as Mexico, Jamaica and Spain in the aftermath of the assassination as they tried to avoid justice.
The trial heard the killing was linked to a feud between rival factions in the Possilpark and Maryhill areas of Glasgow.
Detectives believe Reilly’s killing was linked to an earlier assault he had carried while the murder trial heard claims he owed £100,000 to a high-profile criminal.
