Former Albion Rovers star David Cox says he has been accused of trying to ruin Stenhousemuir player Jonathan Tiffoney's career, over an alleged suicide jibe.
Cox claims he was abused by Tiffoney during a 1-0 Rovers win at Ochilview on April 29, surrounding an attempt at ending his own life.
Tiffoney has denied the allegations, which are now the subject of a Scottish FA investigation.
Following the incident, former Rovers, Airdrie and Cowdenbeath attacker Cox says people have turned on him.
He told BBC Radio 5 Live: "Someone messaged me two days ago and said I was trying to ruin (Tiffoney's) life. He was basically calling me a snowflake.
"That couldn't be any further from the truth. This isn't about Jonathan Tiffoney. This is bigger. For me it was the final straw.
"Speaking about this is really empowering. But there's also the other side, I feel really anxious about it.
"Talking about it is almost like reliving some things and can drag you down a wee bit.
"I'm trying to think about the positives and the good talking about it will do.
"I'm going to be honest, I actually feel really bad.
"I've seen some of the things that have been said about (Tiffoney) and it makes me feel sick a wee bit because it's not like I tried to get someone in trouble. It's the bigger picture for me."
