Raith initially defended the decision to sign Goodwillie from Clyde, saying it was based primarily on his abilities on The Pitch .
But on Thursday morning Mr Sim issued a fresh statement via The Club 's website apologising " wholeheartedly" to fans, sponsors and players for the " anguish and anger caused over The Past few days".
He Said the board and management team had " listened carefully" to fans who had got In Touch .
He Said : " This very unfortunate episode is something that we all bitterly regret and We Are now wholly committed to making things right.
" I can therefore confirm that, following a meeting of the board, The Player will not be selected by Raith Rovers and we will enter into discussions with The Player regarding his contractual position. "
