Council warns Glasgow club they could lose their ground if they sign David Goodwillie

Susan Aitken has said it would be an 'outrageous decision'

Susan Aitken, Glasgow City Council leader, said: “David Goodwillie has been found, in court, to be a rapist.“Any club that signs him is making a very clear statement about its attitude to the safety of women and girls – both in sport and in its community.

“I’ve asked officers to look at the council’s agreement with Glasgow United and made it clear that I’m ready for the city to walk away.” There was widespread outrage when Scottish side Raith Rovers signed Goodwillie from Clyde in February 2022 and he was released from his contract without playing a match.
