Scottish slang meaning to fight, beat up, or physically attack someone. If someone says they're going to pagger you, you should probably move quickly. The word has a blunt, no-nonsense energy that fits the directness of Scottish dialect — it doesn't dress things up. It's mostly heard in west central Scotland and can also be used as a noun (a fight or a beating). It shows up in Scottish fiction, gritty dramas, and street slang without much translation needed for context.
He said one more word about the team and Tam was ready to pagger him in the car park.
