- Goodwillie was sued for damages for rape in 2017 civil case
- Val McDermid ends shirt sponsorship over the striker’s signing
The captain of Raith Rovers women’s team has resigned and the club’s shirt sponsor has withdrawn her support in protest at the signing of David Goodwillie, who was found to have raped a woman by a civil court in 2017.
Fans and employees of Raith Rovers and sexual violence campaigners have reacted angrily after the Fife club confirmed on Monday night it was signing the striker from Clyde following weeks of speculation and growing concern from supporters.
