Wouldn't normally bother with taxi rank fights unless the driver is involved, but this is more like home turf for me, and there's still the murder trial to come for the Dundee rank hoohah five months ago.
Slightly surprising this though, because Broughty Ferry is the posh suburb of Dundee (maybe a bit like Hove is to Brighton), therefore less likely for this kind of thing to happen, but at the end of the day...
Champions League final probably a factor, with pubs busier than usual, thus more people waiting for taxis, and the English accent of one of the perps may be a factor, because Dundee isn't normally overrun with people with English accents.
In fact there were two major rammies in central Dundee a few hours earlier at about the time the match was finishing, and one of them was about one hundred yards from the site of the taxi rank murder at the new year

Man suffers 'serious' head and facial injuries after alleged assault at Broughty Ferry taxi rank
https://www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/fp/m ... taxi-rank/
A 55-year-old man was allegedly assaulted by two men who had jumped a taxi queue in Broughty Ferry on Sunday.
The incident, in which the man was punched in the face and kicked on the ground, took place at the Brook Street taxi rank at around 2.30am.
He suffered head and facial injuries as a result.
Police are looking to trace two men in connection with the incident.
The first is described as white, in his 40s, stocky build with dark hair, wearing a dark puffa-style sleeveless jacket over a white shirt, and with a northern English accent.
The second man is also described as white, in his 40s, medium build with a shaved or bald head, and wearing a white shirt.
A statement from a police spokesperson said: “The area was still busy around this time with people heading home after their Saturday night out, and we would like to hear from anyone who witnessed any part of what happened at the taxi rank.”
