Bikers to descend on Glasgow for Blue Angels gang boss' funeral

Bikers from all over the world are set to arrive in Scotland for the funeral of a ­motorcycle gang boss.

The “one per cent” is often used to describe so-called outlaw ­motorcycle clubs.

His family added: “Allan was much loved by his friends, family and fellow bikers all over the world.”

Police will provide an escort for Morrison’s funeral, which takes place at Glasgow Crematorium on February 15.
