Celebrity Raith Rovers fan Val McDermid has ended her association with the club in protest at them signing Clyde captain David Goodwillie
The famous author is a lifelong supporter of the Fifers and has taken to social media to vent her fury over the arrival from Broadwood.
She previously sent a firm warning to her club over recruiting Goodwillie, who has previously been branded a rapist in a civil court.
McDermid's website has been the shirt sponsor at Raith Rovers since 2014 but the plug has been pulled on that as she joins several other fans in expressing their anger.
Goodwillie departs Clyde having netted 17 goals in 25 appearances this season in League One and more than 100 during his near-five year spell at the club.
McDermid said: "I have this morning ended my lifelong support of Raith Rovers over their signing of the rapist David Goodwillie.
"I have cancelled next season’s shirt sponsorship over this disgusting and despicable move. This shatters any claim to be a community or family club.
"The thought of the rapist David Goodwillie running out on the pitch at Starks Park in a Raith Rovers shirt with my name on it makes me feel physically sick."
Richard Osman - co-presenter of the BBC show Pointless and a fellow author - sent his support: "Urghhh, what are they thinking? Full support for your decision."
