I'm fairly sure Goram was in the squad but had some sort of meltdown or argument and pulled out prior to the start of it
There was a story that Leighton had given Broon a 'him or me' ultimatum when it came to choosing his number 1 keeper for France 98. He had already chucked his toys out the pram when Goram got the nod for Euro 96. I think Goram decided he didn't need the hassle and quit. Remember Goram didn't have a club either at this point. An injury and he'd be screwed.
Truth be told neither Goram nor Leighton should've been anywhere near a starting jersey for Scotland by that stage.
