Lloyd Cross was jailed for his role in the plot to smuggle cocaine in bannana boxes.
Jamie 'Iceman' Stevenson's right-hand man Lloyd Cross was jailed for six years for his role in a £100m plot to smuggle cocaine from Ecuador in banana boxes.
Photos and video emerged in 2018 showing Cross involved in a conflict between police and Rangers fans in Maribor, Slovenia, ahead of a Europa League match. One source told the Record: “Cross saw himself as a top boy in the Rangers support, always at the front of the crowd at away games and always on the look-out for bother. He was the kind who’d revel in a riot.“But all that stopped, presumably when he stepped into the big time in drugs smuggling. He disappeared from Twitter and most traces of him disappeared from social media.
“It wasn’t good from either the mob side or the ultra fan side that he had a public profile, as both are very aware of surveillance. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

The court heard Stevenson and Bilsland, a trader at Glasgow Fruit Market, met at a hotel in Alicante, Spain, to discuss the plan on February 14, 2020, which was believed to be the first time the two men had met.
