Tributes from across Scotland and the football world have been paid to Andy Goram, whose death was announced on Saturday morning. He was 58 and had recently been diagnosed with terminal oesophageal cancer.
Simply known as ‘The Goalie’, Goram was a legendary figure at Rangers for his performances during the 1990s, one of 12 clubs he played for during his career which also amassed 43 caps for Scotland.
Tributes have been paid from team-mates, colleagues and fans following the tragic announcement on the Rangers website. Australian defender Craig Moore played alongside Goram in his first spell at Ibrox, and tweeted: “Unfortunately another huge loss to the Rangers and football family.
The Goalie was a great team mate, all or nothing kind of guy and will never be forgotten. What a man. RIP.” Nacho Novo and Andy Firth, himself goalkeeper, responded to Rangers’ announcement on Instagram.
