Scottish Championship side Raith Rovers were left furious after they were forced to play an outfield player in goal for their defeat to relegation rivals Ayr United.
Ryan Stevenson, a 32-year-old midfielder, started in net for Rovers after all three of their senior goalkeepers were ruled out of the match through injury.
With Raith manager John Hughes unable to secure a free agent as a replacement, and an appeal to the SPFL and SFA to postpone the game having failed, Stevenson was press-ganged into action.
