Rangers to pay tribute to late Andy Goram with minute's silence as funeral arrangements confirmed

RANGERS have announced the club will pay tribute to legendary keeper Andy Goram with a minute's silence ahead of their pre-season match against Sunderland.

The Ibrox club will hold the minute's silence as the first of a number of tributes to 'The Goalie' after he passed away on Saturday following a short battle with cancer.

The iconic Rangers and Scotland keeper made 260 appearances for the Ibrox side between 1991 and 1998 winning five league titles, three Scottish Cups and two League Cups.

The Scottish football world united in mourning after the sad news on Saturday with Rangers now announcing plans to honour Goram - who passed aged 58.

Rangers confirmed Goram's funeral will take place on Monday, 18 July at Wellington Church.

The next day Ibrox representatives will lay a wreath prior to the West Ham United friendly fixtures.

The club also announced further tributes have been planned for that evening - Tuesday, 19 July - to allow supporters to pay their respects to Goram.
