David Goodwillie was ruled to be a rapist at a civil court hearing in 2017

  • Published1 hour ago

The lawyer for a woman raped by former Scotland international footballer David Goodwillie said prosecutors made a "mistake" in not putting him on trial for the attack.

A civil action found Denise Clair was raped by Goodwillie and his then-Dundee United teammate David Robertson at a flat in Armadale, West Lothian in January 2011.

Her lawyer, Thomas Ross KC, has argued the Crown Office "got it wrong" in deciding to drop rape charges against him due to "insufficient evidence".
