Raith Rovers’ decision to drop striker David Goodwillie after his signing provoked a furious backlash from football fans is a “victory of sorts”, the author who led the criticism said.
Crime writer and high-profile Raith fan, Val McDermid spoke out after the chairman of the Fife club admitted “we got it wrong” with the signing of Goodwillie – who was declared by a court to be a rapist at the end of a civil case in 2017.
