Known as “The Goalie”, he was capped 43 times for his country at football and four times at cricket – the only Scot to have played at the top level in both sports.

Goram helped Rangers to Scottish Premier League titles, three Scottish Cups and two League Cups.

He went on loan to

Manchester United in their 2001 title winning season.

Three times married, Goram was in a relationsh­ip with Elaine Mitchell, his partner since 2005, at the time of his death.

Ex-Scotland boss Craig Brown said: “He was full of fun and good-natured. It’s a heartbreak to many.”
