David Goodwillie: Raith Rovers U-turn as Scottish club seek to end player’s contract following signing backlash
David Goodwillie will not play for Raith Rovers after the Scottish Championship club reversed their controversial decision to sign the striker. Scotland's first minister Nicola Sturgeon and author Val McDermid led the backlash after the signing of Goodwillie, who was ruled to be a rapist during a civil case in 2017. Ad/> McDermid ended her support and withdrew her sponsorship of the club, while two directors and the captain of the Raith’s women's team also resigned in protest.
