Rangers have confirmed legendary keeper Andy Goram has been diagnosed with cancer.
The former Ibrox keeper, nicknamed 'The Goalie' during his playing days, was a hero of the club's Nine In A Row years during his time in Govan between 1991 and 1998.
A Rangers statement reads: "Rangers can confirm our legendary goalkeeper, Andy Goram, is undergoing treatment for cancer in a local hospital. Club officials are in regular contact with Andy and his family.
"The family have asked for privacy at this time.
"Everyone at Rangers wishes 'The Goalie' well at this difficult time."
With Rangers, Goram won five league titles, three Scottish Cups and two League Cups.
Prior to his Light Blues stint he was a regular at Oldham Athletic and Hibs, while he would turn out for Sheffield United, Motherwell and even on loan at Manchester United later in his career.
He also earned a Premier League winner's medal with United in 2001 and in the twilight of his career helped Queen of the South to the Challenge Cup.
Goram also amassed 43 caps for the Scotland national team, his international career characterised by a long-running battle he shared for the No.1 spot with Jim Leighton.
Away from football, he was an avid cricketer – appearing for Scotland four times in his other sporting domain.
Goram was inducted into the Scottish Football Hall of Fame in 2010.
