The former Ibrox keeper was a hero of the club's Nine In A Row years during his time in Govan between 1991 and 1998. 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.
Goram 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 - nicknamed The Goalie - 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.
