I don't think Scott probably had much of a choise on the matter, he was probably just assigned to write the story. And even then, it's probably been ripped appart, sensationalised and published.
The fact that they asked a Motherwell fan to write such as story about his own club says more about them testing the limits than it does Scott. As was previously mentioned, his refusal could have severly damaged his career - not so easy to say no when your mortgage/bills being paid culd be put at stake.
Another witch hunt against him isn't necessary.
