Hibs have paid tribute to legendary goalkeeper Andy Goram after the former Hibee and Rangers stopper passed away aged 58.
The Ibrox club confirmed the devastating news in a statement online.
The former keeper, nicknamed 'The Goalie' during his playing days, was a hero of the club's Nine In A Row years during his time between the sticks for Rangers between 1991 and 1998.

His first taste of Scottish football though was at Easter Road, where he moved to from Oldham in 1987, staying four years before beginning his memorable Govan stint.
A statement from Hibs reads: "Everyone at Hibernian FC is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Andy Goram following a short battle with cancer.

"Joining the Hibees in 1987 from Oldham Athletic, Goram kept a clean sheet on his debut in a 4-0 win over Dunfermline. His performances went from strength-to-strength and that, combined with his leadership skills, saw him become Club Captain.
"Not only was he key between the sticks, but he also achieved the unusual feat of scoring a goal in the Scottish Premiership. A huge kick out caught out the opposing goalkeeper and flew into the net in a 3-1 home win against Morton.
"He was also partial to taking penalties, bagging one in a shoot-out win against Clydebank in the League Cup.
"One thing that supporters will never forget is when he “defied logic” against RFC Liège in Europe. He twisted mid-air to stop an Angelo Nijskens header.
"The thoughts of everyone at Hibernian FC are with Andy’s family and friends."
Rangers added: "The thoughts of the directors, management, players and staff are today with Andy’s family, and would ask that their privacy is respected at this sad time. Funeral details will be communicated in due course."
