Over the years, Rangers have had many good goalkeepers. The likes of Peter McCloy from the 1970's instantly spring to mind, as do more recent choices such as Stefan Klos and Allan McGregor, but few can claim to have been as beloved a stopper as the characteristic Andy Goram. Joining Rangers from Hibernian in 1991, Goram was sought out mainly because Walter Smith needed more Scottish players in his regular playing squad, but it was also important that he be an excellent goalkeeper too. Replacing the tremendous Chris Woods was no small task, but Goram went about carving his own reputation, one which ably superseded that of the Englishman, Woods. Often called the 'Flying Pig' during his tenure at Ibrox, Andy Goram didn't look like the most agile of men, but he was more than willing to put his body on the line in order to gracefully float through the air and pluck the ball from danger. Providing fans with one of the greatest saves in living memory, a point blank stop from Celtic's Pierre Van Hooijdonk in the mid-90's, Goram was as passionate as he was talented.
