Gangland enforcers Tamo Junto fire 'accept no imitation' warning as they vow to hound imposters
The gang, also known as TMJ, has claimed responsibility for a number of firebombings and other incidents across the country.
The faceless crime group behind Scotland's raging gang war has fired a chilling final warning - saying they will "relentlessly" pursue the copycats passing themselves off as members of their crime syndicate.
Tamo Junto has claimed responsibility over a number of incidents in recent months, as firebombings, shootings and knife attacks have taken place in and around Scotland's biggest cities.
The group, also known as TMJ, serve as the footsoldiers for former Union Bears Capo-turned gang boss Ross "Miami" McGill, who holed up in a Dubai bolthole after leaving Scotland.
And in a final video released today, the gang has warned the mystery figures behind a social media account bearing their name that they too will be targeted.
The threats came in a 15-second video sent to the Daily Record. The clip features white text on a black background and ends with the TMJ logo against a camouflaged backdrop.
The video brands the tmjdoesitbest TikTok account a "Fake Page". The account had posted a number of videos in recent days, naming a so-called rival and alleging attacks were imminent.
But the group defiantly said: "As we have stated previously TMJ do not have any social media accounts. We've never been on TikTok, Instagram or any of these platforms and never will be.
"Social media is for snitches as we've seen over the last few months from The Gremlins and their associates. Anyone we find creating any accounts under our name will be targeted.

The boy was sadly pronounced dead, despite best efforts to save him. Sebastian's father Marcin believes his son died while attempting a viral TikTok challenge with a scarf. A GoFundMe has been set up for his family. It reads: "A boy full of dreams, passion, and incredible talent. He taught himself to play the guitar and keyboard, and he loved to draw. "Always smiling, kind, and full of joy — everyone who met him was touched by his gentle spirit. "He had loving parents who did everything they could to give him a safe and happy childhood. They would have given him the stars. "Sadly, one brief moment changed everything. A dangerous internet challenge took his life." It pleaded: "Talk to your children about what they do online. "Ask what they watch, who they talk to, what inspires them. Be present. Don't assume: 'My child would never do that.' "The online world can be as dangerous as the real one — sometimes even more so." West Yorkshire police said: "Police were called by ambulance colleagues to an address in Manor Grove, Castleford, at 6:06pm yesterday (27/6) following reports of concern for the safety of a child. "Officers attended the location and the boy was taken to hospital where it was later confirmed that he had died. "Enquiries are ongoing on behalf of the West Yorkshire Coroner to establish exactly what happened. The incident is not being treated as suspicious."

Alan Colquhoun, 83, is believed to have been with members of his family when he fell overboard on Thursday afternoon. Police and Coastguard have also been involved in the search for Mr Colquhoun, the dad-of-three who is the former owner of The Lodge on Loch Lomond Hotel. A source said the area has been swarming with police and search teams since the alarm was raised. They said: 'Divers have been out constantly every day since Thursday. There's police everywhere. 'They've never left the loch since the man went missing. 'It seems like they've been all over the place constantly since Thursday but still haven't been able to find him. 'A helicopter was also flying above the loch at one point. 'We haven't heard much about it but the search is still very much ongoing. 'We've also heard they're meant to be bringing in some kind of submarine in the morning to try and locate the man if he hasn't been found by then.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Keir Starmer responds Bob Vylan's Glastonbury Festival chants
The Labour leader's comments come after Bobby Vylan, of rap punk duo Bob Vylan, led crowds at the festival's West Holts Stage in chants of 'Free, free Palestine' and 'Death, death to the IDF'. Irish trio Kneecap performed to a packed-out crowd after Bobby Vylan's set at the festival where they led chants of 'f*** Keir Starmer' after several politicians called for the group to be removed from the line-up in the run up to the festival, including Starmer who said their performance would not be 'appropriate'. Responding to the chants from Bob Vylan, the Prime Minister has questioned why the BBC allowed it to be broadcast while doubling down on calls for deplatforming Kneecap. READ MORE: Met police drops second terror charge against Kneecap He said: 'There is no excuse for this kind of appalling hate speech. 'I said that Kneecap should not be given a platform and that goes for any other performers making threats or inciting violence. 'The BBC needs to explain how these scenes came to be broadcast.' Earlier on Sunday, Avon and Somerset Police said video evidence from both Kneecap and Bobby Vylan's performances would be assessed by officers 'to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation'. A statement posted to Instagram from Glastonbury's organisers said that Bob Vylan's chants 'very much crossed a line'. Organisers added: 'We are urgently reminding everyone involved in the production of the festival that there is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence.' When asked for comment a BBC spokesperson said: 'Some of the comments made during Bob Vylan's set were deeply offensive. 'During this live stream on iPlayer, which reflected what was happening on stage, a warning was issued on screen about the very strong and discriminatory language. We have no plans to make the performance available on demand.' Kneecap, who hail from Belfast, have been in the headlines after member Liam Og O hAnnaidh, stage name Mo Chara, was charged with a terror offence. The group performed after Vylan's set on the West Holts Stage, which the BBC decided not to broadcast live, with O hAnnaidh exclaiming 'Glastonbury, I'm a free man' as they took to the stage. In reference to his bandmate's forthcoming court date, Naoise O Caireallain, stage name Moglai Bap, said they would 'start a riot outside the courts', before clarifying: 'No riots just love and support, and support for Palestine'. During the performance, Caireallain called out the Prime Minister for his previous comments, as he said: 'The Prime Minister of your country, not mine, said he didn't want us to play, so f*** Keir Starmer.' He also said a 'big thank you to the Eavis family' and said 'they stood strong' amid calls for the organisers to drop them from the line-up.
