Lodged by Claire Baker (Scottish Labour) Standard Motion 19 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises that Lewis Vaughan, of Raith Rovers, played his testimonial match against Hibernian FC on 20 March 2024; understands that clubs normally grant a testimonial game after 10 years of service to the club; recognises what it sees as the incredible resilience shown by Lewis, as he recovered from four separate, potentially career-ending injuries to his anterior cruciate ligaments, to become one of the club’s most successful and celebrated players; believes that, after signing for Raith Rovers’ youth teams in 2008, Vaughan has spent 13 years in the senior side, punctuated only by a short, successful spell on loan at Dumbarton FC; understands that, according to the club, Vaughan has made 247 appearances, scoring 86 goals, including a famous hat-trick against derby rivals, Dunfermline, in January 2019, which has helped make him the record goal scorer in that fixture; recognises that his goal-scoring exploits have put him in the club’s top 20 all-time scorers at the age of only 28; believes that his goals, assists and leadership have inspired Raith Rovers to a title challenge in the Scottish Championship season 2023-24; thanks Hibernian FC for taking its time to honour the player’s contributions, and wishes Lewis Vaughan the very best for the rest of the season and his future career.
