Lewis "Scooby" Rodden is involved in a bitter feud with gangster John "Joker" McCartney. P&B Contracts boss Rodden blames McCartney for fire attacks on his firm's sites. And he even offered McCartney, 43, a job as a "security consultant" in a bid to stop the blazes but McCartney rejected it. Now Rodden, 48, has turned to other criminals for help. A source said: "Rodden was told McCartney was behind the fires and thought the easiest way to stop would be to offer McCartney a job. "But McCartney just wasn't interested in getting involved with Rodden." McCartney is a friend of Ruchill Security boss Bobby "The Devil" Dempster, who was blamed for having Rodden shot in Amsterdam in 2001. The source added: "McCartney's been a friend of Dempster for years and would never work with Rodden no matter how much money he offered." We revealed last year Rodden had been hit by a series of fires in Glasgow's Maryhill and Pollokshaws. Sites in Airdrie and Clydebank were also targeted.
