Samuel Hamilton, 56, was stabbed by Richard Wotherspoon, 33, in Lanarkshire last May.
A convicted rapist who stabbed a man to death on his doorstep has been jailed for life.
The 33-year-old was released from jail just weeks before he repeatedly stabbed the victim - who had spent the evening watching Rangers in a European final.The court heard he had 33 previous convictions, including for rape in 2006.Lord Armstrong said Wotherspoon was assessed to be at maximum risk of re-offending and posed a serious risk of harm to others.
He told him that he would have set a 20-year sentence - the minimum term to be served before a murderer can seek release on parole - if he was convicted after a trial, but the time would be reduced following his earlier guilty plea.Wotherspoon, a prisoner at Addiewell jail in West Lothian, admitted assaulting and murdering Mr Hamilton on 18 May last year at Thorndean Avenue, in Bellshill.
The court heard that there was a previous incident in 2021 between Mr Hamilton and Wotherspoon outside the home of the victim's daughter and Wotherspoon had later needed hospital treatment.
