The Scottish Football Writers’ Association has issued an apology and said it will review the format of its annual awards night after “sexist, racist and homophobic remarks” were made during an after-dinner speech on Sunday.
The sports broadcaster Eilidh Barbour, who works as a presenter for both BBC Sport and Sky Sports, said in a post on Twitter that she had “never felt so unwelcome in the industry” after attending the event and hearing the speech - which sparked a walk out from two of the tables in the room.
