Rangers icon Andy Goram says final Ibrox farewell and stars gather to pay respects at funeral

Rangers icon Andy Goram was taken past Ibrox one final time this afternoon, as fans paid their respects to a Scottish footballing legend.

A host of stars from Scottish football, including Manchester United great Sir Alex Ferguson, are expected to pay their last respects to the 58-year-old as he is laid to rest at Wellington Church in Glasgow's Hillhead at 2pm.

His funeral cortege passed The Stonefield Tavern in Blantyre, owned by his friend Stan Gordon, before arriving at Ibrox at around 1pm.

Rangers fans lined the whole of Edmiston Drive to pay their respects to Goram as he was taken past the stadium.

Goram, who lived in Coatbridge in his latter years, passed away at St Andrew's Hospice in Airdrie on July 2, after a short battle with cancer.

Having played for both Motherwell and Hamilton, and been a coach at Cambuslang Rangers, Goram had several links with Lanarkshire.
