Rangers legend and former Man United goalkeeper Andy Goram, 58, is given just six months to live with terminal cancer, but turns down chemotherapy because it will only extend his life by three months

Rangers legend Andy Goram has been given six months to live after being diagnosed with terminal cancer.

The 58-year-old reportedly turned down chemotherapy after being told it would only give him another 12 weeks, and said he would 'fight like I've never fought before'.

Goram initially mistook his illness for bad indigestion, but after a scan at Monklands Hospital was told he had level four oesophageal cancer.

The former goalkeeper played 184 times for Rangers, winning five league titles and three Scottish cups. He was a favourite of Alex Ferguson, who gave the keeper his first of 43 Scotland caps in 1985 and signed him on loan at Manchester United in 2000.
