The author Val McDermid has said she will withdraw her support and sponsorship of Raith Rovers football club after it signed David Goodwillie.
The striker was ruled to be a rapist and ordered to pay damages in a civil case in 2017.
He never faced a criminal trial over the rape accusation after prosecutors said there was not enough evidence.
Ms McDermid, known for her popular crime fiction novels, has been a lifelong fan of the Fife club.
She was the Scottish Championship team's main shirt sponsor but said that deal would now be ended as a result of the signing.
