The funeral cortege left Blantyre around midday before making its way to Ibrox.

The streets around the famous old stadium were lined with Rangers fans who were there to give Goram an emotional send off.

Ally McCoist and John Brown, two of the legendary 'keeper's former teammates and closest friends, were waiting outside the doors and leading the applause.

Members of Goram's family laid floral tributes at the stadium.

The cortege then left Ibrox for the Wellington Church in the Hillhead area of Glasgow where the private funeral service took place.

The legendary former Manchester United and Aberdeen manager was the boss who called up Goram to the Scotland national team for the first time in 1985.

Club directors including managing director Stewart Robertson also attended the service.

Rangers also left a floral tribute. It read: "Always remembered.

"From the board, management, players and staff of Rangers Football Club."

Ex-goalkeeper Alan Rough was among former Celtic players in attendance.

Sir Rod Stewart, a well known Celtic supporter himself, left his own floral tribute.

The music star said: "One of Scotland's finest.

"Rest in peace Andy. From Sir Rod Stewart."
