Rangers icon Andy Goram tributes flood in following tragic death

Tributes have flooded in for tragic former Rangers goalkeeper Andy Goram, who passed away on Saturday, following a battle against cancer.

Goram spent two years at Motherwell in 1999-2001, following seven trophy-laden years at Ibrox, and played for Hamilton Accies for a single game.

The former Scotland star, who was 58 and latterly lived in Coatbridge, was also a coach at West of Scotland League side Cambuslang Rangers for a spell.

Motherwell chairman Jim McMahon said: "Everyone at Motherwell, and the broad Scottish football family, will mourn the loss of a true great of our game.

"He was a larger-than-life character, both on and off the field, but his ability as a goalkeeper was second to none.

"HIs contribution at Motherwell will obviously be overshadowed by his time at other clubs, but he was a big presence at Fir Park for the two years he was here.

"The thoughts and condolences of everyone at Motherwell are with Andy's family and close friends at this sad time."

A statement issued by Hamilton Accies read: "We are saddened to learn of the passing of goalkeeping great Andy Goram.

"Andy was our keeper in the opening league match at New Douglas Park in August 2001 v Queen of the South.

"Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time."

Rangers fans have been paying tribute to the goalkeeper, who was also a hero for Scotland, at Ibrox over the weekend.
