Reformed Scots gangster Ian ‘Blink’ MacDonald has challenged Paul Ferris to a "showdown at the Ponderosa" in a bid to end their 21 year gangland feud.
The convicted bank robber gatecrashed the stage at a live event held by notorious Ferris and podcast host James English in Glasgow last month.
The 61-year-old spoke to the Daily Record after failing to hear from his former pal despite receiving a ‘dummy handshake’ from him in front of the cheering crowd at the Crown Plaza Hotel.
The duo are said to have fallen out in a row over money and have been embroiled in a war of words for more than two decades.
MacDonald, who has his own YouTube channel ‘Blink and you’ll miss it’, said: “I went up and shook his hand, I praised him and everything. Now I’m asking myself if I did the right thing.
“Over the last couple of weeks since the dummy handshake, he’s never made a move to talk to me since.
“I felt like throwing him and English off the stage because they were that boring and I’d have taken over the show with my stories.
“Cause his stories are a pile of s***, talking about politics and all of that. I’d give the real deal. But he’s playing silly little games just now on his Twitter and it’s coming onto my channel.
“So I’ve issued him a challenge and said why don’t we have a sit down with a cup of tea and I'll supply the chocolate biscuits. But you bring the milk.
“I said, you’re the wee man but I was the bigger man on the stage that night. I want to challenge you to come on my channel because you’re still saying there’s issues.
“I can answer all your issues so be the wee man and I’ll be the big man and we’ll get it sorted. Let’s have a showdown at the Ponderosa.”
