Clyde’s women’s team have dramatically quit the club after the men’s side re-signed David Goodwillie, as the backlash against the striker – found by a civil court in 2017 to have raped a woman – showed no sign of abating.
North Lanarkshire Council – which owns the club’s stadium – threatened to end Clyde’s lease early if they allow Goodwillie into Broadwood and will not renew the lease when it expires next year, stating it had “a responsibility to the wider community to act, and to send a clear signal that abuse must not be tolerated”.
