Raith Rovers have agreed a sponsorship deal with crime author Val McDermid.

The lifelong Rovers fan will have the name of her website emblazoned on the team's shirt for the 2014-15 season.

McDermid, who is a board member of the Scottish Championship club, already has a stand named after her at the team's ground Stark's Park.

"She has been a great supporter of the club and when she was approached about the sponsorship, she knew it was a win-win situation for herself and the club," Raith commercial director Tom Morgan told the club's official website.

"It is an honour for a provincial club like Raith Rovers to be involved with a world-famous author."

Raith Rovers won the Scottish Challenge Cup last season by beating Rangers 1-0 in the final.
