Raith Rovers ended a turbulent week with a goalless draw at home to Hamilton Academical, which leaves them fourth in the Scottish Championship.

The Fife club faced fierce criticism after signing David Goodwillie, who was ruled to be a rapist and ordered to pay damages in a civil case in 2017.

Raith then apologised and said the striker would not play for the club.

Two directors resigned in the wake of Goodwillie's signing on Monday, with sponsors withdrawing their support.

John McGlynn's side draw level on points with third-placed Inverness but are yet to win a league match in 2022. Five of their six Championship games since the turn of the year have ended in draws.

Both sides threatened in the first half at Stark's Park and Hamilton's Kai Kennedy later sent a low effort wide.
