Andy Goram - ashes buried behind the Copland goal line

[Papatango]

That explains the clean score sheet on Saturday.

RIP Goalie.

 

[Millger]

Couldn't ask for a better resting place for Andy always part of Ibrox just how it should be

 

[sprally]

Well done Rangers.

 

[bluetonic]

Absolutely fitting as to where it should be but that Ibrox goal photo is about 30 years old.

Absolutely fitting as to where it should be but that Ibrox goal photo is about 30 years old.

I doubt they have an abundance of shots of the goalmouth taken from that distance/angle in an empty stadium to choose from.

 

[Deco1978]

Very fitting for our greatest ever goalie.
RIP Andy

 

[Kozzah Saidsoh]

Very moving act from the Club. Forever in our hearts and minds. Rest easy the Goalie.

 

[TQ3]

No surprise we got the first clean sheet of the season!
What a beautiful tribute to such a legend of the club.
Simply the Best.

 

[GourockBlue50]

Was it ever going to be otherwise?

A fitting tribute.

 

[Johnj98]

Great gesture by The Rangers.

 

[iain18(7)2]

His now rests where he should always be. Forever in goal for Rangers. Rest Easy Andy.

 

[YOGI_GER]

Absolutely fitting as to where it should be but that Ibrox goal photo is about 30 years old.

Yeah, from when Goram used to stand in it perhaps?

 

[craigiebear]

Such a fitting tribute for a legend of the club

 

[TCWNS1872]

A fiiting resting place for the greatest ‘keeper.

 

[So Mote It Be]

Welcome home Andy.

Where you belong Sir.

 

[JamboReid1874]

That is brilliant. There tonight and onwards and hopefully cursing every single chance an oppositioning player gets.

Nobody went tonto at a defence quite like Goram

 

[Methilbear]

Am I reading too much into the fact they've used a picture from over 25 years ago with a booze advertisement behind the goal?

I noticed that immediately

 

[ArfieldsSalute]

From where he smacked Di Canio twice, nice one.

Still one of the funniest things I've seen live at a game

 

[wearetheppl]

Very fitting tribute. Hope he helps us keep more out this season.

 

[Larbert loyal]

Fitting tribute to the Goalie

 

[Knightmare]

So apt, where he did it for the club and fans.

 

[ozo]

Touching tribute.

It's before my time but in the past fans ashes were allowed to be scattered on the pitch. I'm sure ive read a John Greig quote about it having to be stopped because it was creating too many bald spots on the pitch!

 

[grant1986]

Very fitting tribute to The Goalie.

 

[bluetonic]

Yeah, from when Goram used to stand in it perhaps?

Yeah true

 

[Belfastbear]

A Magnificent Tribute forever in a Place he Loved RIP Goalie

 

[Yoniboy]

No more fitting resting place for the Goalie, in Ibrox for ever.

 

[Rangerista]

As it should be, guarding our goal forever.

 

[chenksy72]

Brilliant tribute and it’s where he belongs, our greatest ever keeper and the best goalkeeper I’ve ever seen

 

[Union-Jack]

Fantastic reading that. That's a great tribute!

 

[Ally Shuffle]

Met his son on Friday night at a tribute dinner, a credit to his dad.

Rest easy now you are home Andy!

 

[RodShapero]

Well done Rangers!

 

[jimb366]

Touching tribute.

Since then, they are hybrid pitches now, incorporating plastic netting; which are scraped off every year. Thats why

 

[GersGuy]

And they couldn't get a photo of the goals from this century.

 

[tumsheeheed]

Fantastic tribute to a true legend of our Great Club.

 

[Rich Uncle Skeleton]

How's the security at Ibrox these days , the scum will stop at nothing.

Surprised it took 18 posts for some crank to hit out with this

 

[No not one]

Was going to say i think I've heard of this before and wonder who else's are buried at Ibrox.

Jock Tiger Shaw
Alex Willoughby
Jim Baxter
Sandy Jardine

 

[Turrabear]

Where he belongs.

 

[Blue bells are blue1872]

A very touching and fitting final resting place for The Goalie.

 

[Bannerman]

Superb gesture - and a fitting tribute to the Goalie.

As for the photo, I'm sure a more recent image could've been used.

 

[Tom Forsyth's stud]

Absolutely fitting as to where it should be but that Ibrox goal photo is about 30 years old.

Just going to say the same!

 

[Bluerhap]

The Goalie at rest in his rightful place.

 

[Taffyblue]

Great tribute by the club and, for those that want to have a moment of reflection, they know exactly where to look as The Goalie will always be remembered there.

 

[AppleBear]

Hard to take any positives from Andy’s passing but that is absolutely tremendous. What an incredible tribute and privilege for Andy.

 

[Airntully]

Rangers legend Andy Goram’s ashes were buried under the Ibrox pitch in a ceremony held by his loved ones.

His remains were placed inches behind the centre of the goal line at the Copland Road stand in a private service.

It comes five weeks after Goram – nicknamed The Goalie – lost his battle with cancer, aged 58.

That's heartwarming.

I wouldn't put it past them. Their actions this past week have shown how they feel.

Edit.
In fact I would bet money some sort of stunt happens eventually.

The Goalie is in fine company then. A fitting tribute.

 

[Captain_Buns]

A fitting tribute for our greatest ever goalkeeper.

 

[LetsGo]

Maybe or maybe not a silly question.

This is clearly a fitting tribute, but will the ashes be disturbed whenever the pitch is relaid?

I have a wonderful limited edition print of Ibrox with Baxter, Jardine, Greig and the artists signature on it. Bought from the old Rangers shop in EK. was the first thing I bought for my first home in the 90s.

 

[Thommo2006]

No need for a keeper when we're defending that end, the goalie will be looking after things.

Great gesture and tribute by the club
