In 2017, a civil court found Goodwillie and his teammate David Robertson to be rapists and liars. The woman who accused them – Denise Clair – is now seeking a private prosecution in a criminal court. Martin Geissler speaks to Sunday Post journalist Marion Scott about the case. Scotcast is the BBC’s Scottish news podcast. Get in touch: [email protected]
