The leader of Glasgow City Council has threatened to ban a city team from their ground if they sign rapist footballer David Goodwillie.
Susan Aitken warned Glasgow United she has already instructed council officials to examine the agreement allowing the side to use the Shettleston site.In a tweet on Sunday, she insisted she is “ready to walk away” from permitting the club from using the Greenfield Football Centre.
The move comes after disgraced Goodwillie, 34, played as a trialist for the West of Scotland Football League side in a friendly last week.Goodwillie was found to have raped a woman in 2017 in a civil case ruling at the Court of Session in Edinburgh.
Ms Aitken said: “David Goodwillie has been found, in court, to be a rapist. However, in more than 12 years, he has never once shown any kind of contrition or remorse.“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.“It would be an outrageous decision, wholly at odds with how community facilities like Greenfield should be run.
