Clyde FC's charitable foundation say they have suffered "immensely" after losing £30,000 in legal fees following a legal battle with an international footballer. Lauren Rabbitte, 24, walked out one day after the men's football club re-signed rapist David Goodwillie.
She subsequently took them to an employment tribunal over a row about wages. Lauren claimed she had been offered a role taking charge of the development of girls' and women's football and securing more sponsorship funding for the men's team.
However, the tribunal ruled that Lauren had in fact never been taken on as an employee but instead was a volunteer for the foundation. Despite her losing her case, Clyde FC Community Foundation has said the charity lost almost £30,000 in "irrecoverable" legal fees, reports Glasgow Live.
