The captain of Raith Rovers's women's team has quit the club as they continue to come under fire for the signing of former Clyde striker David Goodwillie.
The Fife team have received a significant backlash from the controversial deadline day deal, with figures including Scottish crime writer and Rovers fan Val McDermid withdrawing her longstanding sponsorship of the club in protest.
Other women involved in Raith Rovers have also pulled their support - including the captain of the women's team Tyler Rattray.
She announced she was quitting after a decade with the club and described the decision as "gutting".
In a tweet, she said: "After 10 long years playing for Raith, it's gutting I have given up now because they have signed someone like this and I want nothing to do with it!
"It was good being captain of Raith while it lasted."
Former Scotland striker Goodwillie and fellow footballer David Robertson were accused by Denise Clair in 2011 of raping her following a night out in West Lothian.
The Crown declined to prosecute so the mum-of-one - who waived her right to anonymity - launched a civil case against the duo.
In the first civil case of its kind in Scotland, a judge ruled the pair to be rapists and ordered them to pay £100,000 damages despite never facing a criminal trial.
Clair maintained she was incapable of giving free agreement to sex because of her alcohol consumption, but Goodwillie and Robertson claimed that intercourse had been consensual.
An appeal by the pair was dismissed in 2017.
Amid he fall-out of the signing on Monday night, supporter liaison officer Margie Roberts also announced she was leaving.
She wrote: "Due to recent developments within the club I have today tendered my resignation as SLO/DAO. My values and that of the club are now on a divergent path.
"I would like to thank everyone who has encouraged me and helped me through out my tenure.
"I have enjoyed meeting so many fans."

On Monday's signing of the player, one fan added: "I was so proud to move my team and I under RRFC banner, was excited with all the development to bring the club back into our community and I wore my badge with pride.
"Now I am embarrassed, ashamed and disgusted.
"Not one thought given to our women and girls! Shame on you!".
