A Scots supergang member caged for serious organised crime offences was a close ally of Kevin "Gerbil" Carroll - and even drove the feared hood to his death.John Bonner was caged last week along with mobsters Christopher Laycock and David Kelly over their role in the most sophisticated organised crime gang in the country.The mob - headed by fugitive-feared-dead brothers James and Barry Gillespie, and later James White - flooded Scotland with drugs and firearms and used serious violence against rivals.And we can now reveal Bonner was a close pal of feared drug mob enforcer Kevin "Gerbil" Carroll, who died in a hail of bullets at a supermarket car park in 2010.Bonner was Gerbil's driver, ferrying him to his execution on the day of the assassination, and was named by police as a suspect in the gangland hit.The 37-year-old was remanded in custody at the High Court in Glasgow on Friday for his role in the Gillespies' gang, and is due to be sentenced next month.At the same court in 2012, during the trial of Gerbil murder suspect Ross Monaghan, who was later cleared, Bonner gave evidence about his role in the death of his friend.Gerbil was shot dead in the car park of the ASDA in Robroyston, Glasgow, on January 13, 2010, by two masked gunmen, who escaped in a getaway car.Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.You'll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.All you have to do is click here if you're on mobile, select 'Join Community' and you're in!If you're on a desktop, simply scan the QR code above with your phone and click 'Join
