The daughter of a rail tycoon has been targeted with graffiti slurs at a Hamilton gym just weeks after a car was firebombed outside her home.
Graphic messages targeted at Jennifer McLeish, whose father is railway maintenance firm QTS founder, Alan McLeish, were found spray painted on the wall of the David Lloyd gym at around 6.30am this morning.
The incident occurred just 12 days after a car was deliberately set alight outside the 36-year-old's Bothwell home in a suspected gangland vendetta, the Daily Record reports.

A car is believed to have been driven to her gate before being setting it alight as thugs fled the scene at around 7.45pm on January 7.
In November 2020 Jennifer's £500,000 home, next door to former Celtic player Leigh Griffiths, was petrol bombed and her Range Rover was set alight.
Her beauty salon, House of Aesthetics in Duke Street, Dennistoun, was raided one month later on December 16, forcing her to close the business.
Police Scotland said they were not officially linking the crimes, but sources believed the same gang was responsible for the attacks.
Speaking at the time, one told the Record: “Both attacks came within a few weeks of each other and there’s no doubt that serious criminals are trying to intimidate Jennifer McLeish.
"This would not appear to be anything to do with her own family or her father being wealthy.”
McLeish sold QTS – based in Strathaven, Lanarkshire – for £80 million in 2018 after starting the business with the help of a £300 loan from his mum Anne.
Jennifer’s step-mum Phyllis, who split from Alan two years ago, is on the board at Kilmarnock FC.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Enquiries are ongoing following a report of a vandalism at a premises in Mote Hill, Hamilton.
"The matter was reported to police around 6.30 am on Thursday 19 January, 2023."
David Lloyd were contacted for comment.
