Overview

  • Robert Kelbie, who admitted to a £145,000 mortgage fraud in 2012, was photographed backstage with Oasis members Noel Gallagher, Gem Archer and actor Matt Smith at the band’s reunion gig in Cardiff.
  • He posted Instagram videos set to Oasis’s “Stay Young” lyrics, a move observers say serves as a veiled taunt to rival factions in Scotland’s Central Belt turf war.
  • Since rebranding as a boxing promoter, Kelbie has cultivated ties with high-profile figures including Tyson Fury, Sir Alex Ferguson, Wayne Rooney and Mike Tyson to bolster his image.
  • The feud, triggered by a £500,000 fake cocaine deal, has escalated through firebombings, shootings and the execution of two Lyons gang members in Spain, resulting in 52 arrests to date.
  • Scottish authorities have stepped up cross-border investigations into the violence as Kelbie’s high-profile appearances draw renewed scrutiny.
