The shooting comes two months after his cousin Robert Daniel was gunned down outside his Stepps home.

In March, they appealed to motorists travelling on the M80 who may have seen the suspects making their getaway.

They wanted drivers with dashcam footage to come forward as they may have caught the gunmen heading back towards Glasgow.

Robert Daniel, 42, was shot while he sat in his car in Honeywell Drive, Cardowan back in March. 

He sustained an injury to his right forearm, contacted emergency services and was taken to hospital by ambulance for treatment. 

The area is situated in Port Dundas in North Glasgow and the shooting has forced the closure of junction 16 of the M8. Drivers are being re-routed.

Last November, Euan Johnston was within a black Audi RS4 with his friend when his killer drove up beside him in a dark-coloured Audi Q5 and delivered the fatal blow in Glasgow's Southside

This targeted hit also happened near the M8 with the gunman using the motorway to make his getaway.

He sped off in his car and was last seen turning right into Scotland Street, heading for the M8 motorway towards the Kingston Bridge. He still remains at large. 

After the shooting, emergency services rushed to the scene to save Euan but he later died in the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.

Police believe the car used in the shooting was set on fire in Bracken Street in North Glasgow’s Parkhouse area a short time later.
