The backlash to David Goodwillie's transfer from Clyde to Raith Rovers has intensified after First Minister Nicola Sturgeon commented on the controversy - and Raith Ladies captain Tyler Rattray quit the club in protest.
In a 2017 civil court case, a judge ruled that Goodwillie and then Dundee United team-mate David Robertson had raped Denise Clair and they were ordered to pay her £100,000, after a criminal case had been dropped.
Earlier today celebrity fan and famous author Val McDermid, who is also a club sponsor, said she was ripping up her season ticket over the "disgusting and despicable move" to bring Goodwillie to Kirkcaldy.
