Rangers legend Andy Goram's funeral procession passes by goalie's favourite pub as hundreds line streets

The funeral procession of Andy Goram passed through Blantyre this afternoon as The Goalie visited one of his favourite pubs for the last time.

The Rangers legend's funeral is to be held later on today and the procession passed by the Stonefield Tavern, also known as Teddies Bar, as it made its way to Ibrox.

Hundreds lined the streets and clapped and cheered as the hearse followed behind a piper.

Andy was great friends with the regulars of the Stonefield Tavern and also made friends all over Blantyre.

His family invited the people of Blantyre to be at the pub to show their respects to arguably Rangers and Scotland's greatest ever stopper as the hearse and funeral cars drive up Glasgow Road.

Pub owner and pal of Andy, Stan Gordon told Lanarkshire Live : "Let’s give the goalie the send off from Blantyre he deserves."

The Rangers legend was diagnosed with stage four oesophageal cancer in April. It came after he thought he was suffering heartburn and indigestion.

The icon had been in St Andrew's hospice for three weeks after he became too ill to be treated at home.

Loved ones including Danny, ex-wife Miriam, Brown and former Gers striker Ally McCoist were with him in his final moments when he died on Saturday.
