A Scots football club's decision to stand behind a domestic abuser has been met with widespread fury.
Ex-Hibs player Jordon Forster, 29, admitted to engaging in a course of abusive behaviour towards his partner over a seven month period, at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Tuesday, June 20.
However, his current club, Tranent F.C., have decided to back Forster, releasing a statement saying they will be 'encouraging and assisting Jordon with his reformation'.
