A man accused of trying to murder gangland figure Steven “Bonzo” Daniel was released yesterday.

Sheriff Kenneth Hogg agreed to a request by the lawyer for Brian Ferguson, 35.

Co-accused Andrew Sinclair, 30, Michael Bennett, 30, and Robert Bennett, 27, were all remanded when they appeared for a second time at Glasgow Sheriff Court.

Court papers claim that on May 17 and 18, they drove at a car being driven by Daniel and tried to “force it from the roadway” in Port Dundas, Glasgow.

The charge alleges they smashed their way into the car and struck Daniel on the face with a blade to the danger of his life.

Michael Sutherland, 31, also appeared. He is accused with Sinclair of trying to murder Ryan Fitzsimmons on April 28 in Clydebank.
