Tributes paid after Rangers football legend Andy Goram dies following short cancer battle

Rangers football legend Andy Goram has died after a short battle with oesophageal cancer. He died at St Andrew’s Hospice in Airdrie, Lanarkshire earlier today.

The club confirmed the devastating news in a statement online. It said: "Goram, 58, made 260 appearances for Gers between 1991 and 1998. In that time, he won five league titles, three Scottish Cups and two League Cups.

"His performances in the inaugural UEFA Champions League in 1992/93 were outstanding, as Gers defeated English champions Leeds United to qualify for the tournament, before coming within a whisker of reaching the final. Goram was also something of an Old Firm specialist, and as the decade progressed and clashes between the two became more and more important, he was often the difference between the two sides with some astonishing saves.
