EXCLUSIVE: "Stick it up your a**e" - Elgin City Football Club director Stephen Scott resigns and withdraws record sponsorship deal after claiming fellow board member told him where to put his funding

An Elgin City director has resigned and withdrawn a record sponsorship deal after claiming a fellow board member said he could stick his money "up his a**e" in an email where he had been accidentally copied in.

Gleaner Oils owner Stephen Scott told how he read the abusive email, allegedly sent between fellow directors on Friday, triggering his decision to quit his role at the club and pull out his money "with a heavy heart".

The businessman, a lifelong supporter of the SPFL club, said he contacted the sender of the message who claimed they didn't send the email and "had been hacked".

Mr Scott said it was one of the proudest days of his life when he joined the board of his home town club in 2019, having been a Black and Whites fan since the 1960s.

"On Friday I was copied in to a highly abusive email to other directors, suggesting amongst other things that I should “stick (my) sponsorship up (my) a**e”," he revealed.

"The person on the Board of the Club from whose account that email emanated has been at pains to claim that he had been hacked, but nonetheless – whilst I am no snowflake – there are limits.

"I was left to feel that I had no option but to resign."

Elgin City announced what is believed to be a record sponsorship deal worth a six-figure sum in April. Long-time backers McDonald and Munro had extended their shirt sponsorship of the men's team while Gleaner would take up sponsorship of the recently founded Elgin City ladies' team.

Mr Scott owns the Gleaner Oils firm with his wife Jane, who he consulted before decided to withdraw their backing from the League 2 club.

"Further, after discussing with my wife and senior management at Gleaner we have decided to withdraw all of Gleaner’s sponsorship of the club," Mr Scott added.

"Where only weeks ago the Club were celebrating an offer made by Gleaner to become, I’m told, the Club’s biggest-ever sponsor we cannot continue with this offer as the terms of the email circulated on Friday do not reflect the way in which Gleaner does business.

"None of this will stop me from continuing to support the Club in the traditional manner, and I can only hope that fellow fans will understand the intolerable position in which I have been placed."

Elgin City recently appointed Isla Benzie as the club's first interim chairwoman following the resignation of previous chair Graham Tatters.

"I should add that I would rather have kept a lid on various recent internal happenings, out of respect for my good friend Graham Tatters (who, as already trailed, has had to step down for now as Chair, for family reasons).

"But, whilst I have deliberately not bothered Graham, I know that he would be the first to see my point of view following this latest escapade.

"I want to stress that despite my sadness I wish the club, and Isla as its interim Chairwoman, nothing but success in the seasons ahead."

Could it be that the computer technician that configured Dundee's email set up configured Elgin City's?, as both seem to have had trouble on the email front.

As if there isn’t a sliding scale. What a fucking horrendous comment.

That thread is utterly fucking appalling and their admin really need to get grip of it. Amount of cunts defending a rapist is insane. Loads of rapey weirdos insisting that he wasn’t convicted in a criminal court he should be free to live his life. Wonder if they’d make the same defence of Jimmy Savile given his lack of criminal convictions too

It’s the exact same every time he gets brought up. Funnily enough they have no issue calling Griffiths a nonce despite having no conviction for it

The amount of them who are rewriting history about his time at Clyde is fucking mental too. Directors, sponsors, staff all quit when he originally signed, their MP kicked up fuck and countless others made a big issue of it but according to FF it’s all the SNP’s fault somehow. Cunts are utterly fucking deranged. Funny thing is, I know a few guys who’ve said if they come up against him in a game, they’re going knee high and taking the ban that comes with it.

What do you expect when the place is run by a guy who thinks it’s fine to not only take a photo of a random woman being catcalled in the street, but to then upload said photo to a public forum while claiming “she loved the attention”?

Very true. He’s a fucking deviant who is a danger to women.

Same arguments of defence were made on here for Goodwillie and Trump to be fair.

And that’s every bit as wrong. Not sure the defence of Goodwillie on here was anywhere near as ‘popular’ (for want of a better word).

If Goodwillie had any sense, he would fade into oblivion or become an advocate for his wrongs. The fact that he still wants to see himself in the limelight as an aging footballer tells it all. He is an egotist, unwilling to see or accept what he did wrong in life. 

Being shunned is what he deserves.

Not true at all. Directors quit, sponsors terminated contracts, players refused to join them, their MP/MSP kicked up fuck, fans kicked up fuck, I kicked up fuck, the partners of some of their players refused to attend games and club functions. To say no-one cared is miles off it.

Never read or seen any of that.

Only seemed an issue when Raith gave him a decent contract
