Albion Rovers player David Cox has retired from football, aged 32, after he was allegedly taunted about his mental health by an opposition player.

The former Kilmarnock and Annan Athletic forward, who was a substitute in Thursday's Scottish League Two clash against Stenhousemuir, walked off the pitch in the first-half following the incident.

Cox has bravely spoken on numerous occasions about his mental health. In a bid to raise awareness and encourage fellow players to speak up if they are going through similar difficulties, he opened up about his own struggles.

Back in 2019, he says he considered suicide after being abused over issues surrounding his mental health while playing for Cowdenbeath.
