LONDON : Crime writer Val McDermid has withdrawn her sponsorship of Scottish Championship club Raith Rovers after its decision to sign former Scotland striker David Goodwillie.
No criminal case was ever brought against Goodwillie or Robertson after the Crown Office deemed there to be insufficient evidence. He maintains his innocence, saying they had consensual sex. "I have this morning ended my lifelong support of @RaithRovers over their signing of the rapist David Goodwillie. I have cancelled next season's shirt sponsorship over this disgusting and despicable move."The thought of the rapist David Goodwillie running out on the pitch at Starks Park in a @RaithRovers shirt with my name on it makes me feel physically sick."Raith's women's team captain Tyler Rattray has also quit the club in protest.
