Rico Quitongo has alleged he had to leave Airdrie as "for some people my face or my skin didn't fit" - and he has claimed the club painted him in a bad light over the racism row that erupted earlier this season.
The 22-year-old has hit out at the treatment he claims he received by a minority at the Monklands club and says he is delighted to put it behind him after signing for League One rivals Peterhead.
Quitongo, who is the son of Hamilton Accies and Hearts star Jose, said in September that he was racially abused by a Diamonds fan during a 0-0 draw against Queen's Park in September last year, but the New Broomfield club dropped an investigation into the allegation the following month, saying there was "insufficient evidence".
