Fans gathered at Ibrox to pay tribute to Rangers legend Andy Goram after he passed away following a battle with cancer. The club confirmed the 58-year-old had died from esophageal cancer on Saturday, July 2.
Supporters made the pilgrimage to the famous Copland Road gates this afternoon. Mourners laid jerseys, scarfs and flowers in memory of the legendary goalie at the team stadium.
A pair of goalkeeper gloves were pinned to the gates with the message "RIP #1" beside a yellow jersey with 'Rest Easy Goalie' written across the front. Meanwhile, flowers were laid outside the stadium with the message "In loving memory of 'The Goalie'".
Among the memorabilia a Celtic scarf could be seen tied to the gate, as supporters of Glasgow's two biggest teams came together to pay tribute.
In a touching homage, club chiefs described Goram as an "Old Firm specialist" who "was often the difference between the two sides with some astonishing saves".
Goram made 260 appearances for the Light Blues between 1991 and 1998. He won five league titles, three Scottish Cups and two League Cups - earning the nickname "The Goalie" among the Ibrox faithful.
The former Ibrox keeper was a hero of the club's Nine In A Row years during his time in Govan. He left Rangers in 1998 but continued to play top flight football for five more years.
He also had spells at Notts County, Sheffield United, Motherwell for three seasons, Manchester United, where he helped the Red Devils claim the Premier League in 2001. Goram played in goal for Hamilton Accies, Coventry, another spell at Oldham, Queen of the South and then lastly Elgin City.
The keeper won 43 caps for Scotland and was the first-choice goalkeeper for both Euro 92 and Euro 96 in Sweden and England respectively for the Scots. Goram had spent the last few weeks in St Andrew’s after becoming too ill to be treated at home.
The ex Scotland star had been diagnosed with Stage Four cancer after thinking he was suffering from indigestion. He told the Record doctors had given him just six months to live in April.
However his condition worsened quicker than specialists predicted and he passed away surrounded by family and friends shortly before midday. Goram organised his own funeral days before he died.
