Raith Rovers have defended their decision to sign forward David Goodwillie, after his arrival sparked a furious backlash at the Scottish club.

Goodwillie, 32, was ruled to have committed rape by a civil court judge in 2017 and ordered, along with a team-mate, to pay £100,000 in damages.

He has said of a World Cup winner: "We think he has an agreement with another club. That's what his agent has insinuated to us. We will act for the good of the club.”
