GANGLAND GODFATHER David Hough, 29, warned he was going to shoot the Ireland international as bouncers raced to protect the Celtic star. Hough - an ally of feared gangland killer Robert "Birdman" O'Hara - terrified clubbers as he went berserk at Darren. The footballer was out in Glasgow on Tuesday night celebrating ahead of his 23rd birthday on Th ursday. Hough went berserk over claims the player had been chatting to his girlfriend Charleigh Anderson, 23. One pal of the player said: "Darren had a hamstring injury which kept him out of the Kilmarnock game where Robbie Keane made his debut."He got permission from Tony Mowbray to have a night out with his friends. He used it as a chance to have an early birthday celebration. "He was out with a group of guys and they got a booth in Karbon. "The threats from this guy came completely out of the blue. It was much more than the abuse that Old Firm players sometimes get on a night out. "The guy had gone to the toilet and when he came back he launched himself at Darren screaming and shouting. He was right in Darren's face screaming that he was going to shoot him in"His eyes were bulging, the veins in his neck were popping "Darren couldn't hear some of what was said because of the music but the threat was pretty clear. He looked white as a ghost. "Apparently this guy had been told that Darren was chatting up his girlfriend but he hadn't been talking to any women at all. "Darren left the club immediately and the bouncers took care of the other guy. He didn't learn until after about the guy's connections and he was pretty shaken up. "He told Tony Mowbray and the boss was OK about it - but he told him to be more careful on these nights out." Darren, who skippered Celtic for a short spell in January, is in a long-term relationship with model Melissa Cheung, 23, of East Kilbride. The pair have been together since 2006.The pal added: "Darren was worried but the thing that upset him was the suggestion he'd been talking to this girl. It's just not true - he's totally devoted to Mel, understandably enough." He later joined forces with Robert Daniel - of their arch-rival family. But he was snared with drugs by police in 2004 following a high-speed chase. Robert Weir, 27, drove the wrong way along the M74 in a BMW at more than 140mph before crashing into a tree. Passenger Hough jumped out with a bag containing £146,000 of cocaine. He admitted drug dealing.After his release from prison, Hough fell out with the Daniel family - including Robert, who was jailed in 2005 for eight years after being snared with £300,0000 of heroin. Hough is now a key associate of O'Hara, 32, who built a drugs empire in Glasgow's Possil using terror and violence.
He and three cronies were jailed in 2005 for the murder of Paul McDowall, 25. O'Hara must serve a minimum of 20 years. It is claimed that Hough was once targeted in a knife attack ordered by Daniel gang member Kevin "Gerbil" Carroll who was shot dead at an Asda last month. One source said: "Th e suggestion is that Charleigh was out on the town and Hough thought she was getting attention from O'Dea."They fall out all the time and it looks like their most recent split was perhaps fi nal.." Anderson formed girl group Splash with Julie Hodson, 23.Their debut single Aloha was a hit in Denmark, Holland, Belgium and Poland. But last year, Hodson ditched her music career to become a lawyer. Darren said last night: "It's true that something happened in Karbon, but I don't want to talk about it. I just want it put behind me."
