Darren McDade admitted causing the death of Kyle Zybilowicz, 29, at the victim's flat in Dumbreck Court on 22 July, 2023.
A trial heard McDade, 34, went to a "Herculean effort" to avoid being caught for the killing, including hiding the weapon and burning his clothes.
McDade had been on trial for murder at the High Court in Glasgow, but was convicted of a lesser charge of culpable homicide while acting under provocation.
McDade said he had feared for his own life after Mr Zybilowicz forced himself on him, bit him hard on the finger and attempted to grab the scissors.
McDade said he got to them first before striking Mr Zybilowicz, although he did not know how many times he struck him.
