Raith Rovers manager John McGlynn has asked for a chance to turn things around after signing Clyde's David Goodwillie.
The Championship club signed the forward on transfer deadline day last month and it has brought widespread condemnation.
Goodwillie was declared a rapist after being found guilty in a civil court and ordered, with former team-mate David Robertson, to pay £100,000 in compensation to the victim of the 2011 attack.
