Prosecutor John McElroy KC told the High Court in Glasgow: “A child was given the firearm and told to shout: ‘Put them up’.
“The youngster was then instructed to shoot the victim twice in the backside.”
The shocking details emerged as enforcer Al-Gailani was caged for a series of “sadistic” attacks last year — including one where an ex-clan member lost a leg.
Jailing the thug for 16 years, Judge Lady Stacey slammed the “disgraceful” decision to involve a youngster.
She said: “One can hope being so young, the child will not remember.”
The court heard the mechanic held McCran hostage over £19,000 in debts.
He was stripped, tortured, beaten with a baseball bat and maimed with a machete at a house in Wishaw, Lanarkshire, last June.
Fellow victim James Sheridan — an ex-gang member targeted in a revenge attack over lost drugs cash — ended up having his right leg amputated above the knee.
