Andy Goram passed away from cancer at the age of 58.
The only Scot to have played at the top level of both sports was Goram, who was capped 43 times for his country.
Rangers won five Scottish premier league titles and three Scottish cups.
During the 2000-01 season, Goram was on a loan to Manchester United.
He was a goalkeeping coach at a football club.
After being released from West Bromwich Albion's youth set-up, Goram moved to England's Second Division and made 195 appearances.
After being handed his Scotland debut by Sir Alex Ferguson, he captained the Edinburgh side for many of his 136 appearances before being sold to Rangers for $1m four years later.
The high point of Goram's time at Ibrox was in 1992-93, when the Glasgow side narrowly missed out on reaching the European Championship final but won a fifth consecutive league title and he received the Scottish Football Writers and SPFA player of the year.
He was part of the Scotland squad that played at the 1986 and 1990 World Cup and Euro 92 and 96, but he walked out on the squad before the 1998 finals due to head coach Craig Brown's preference for Jim Leighton.
Goram joined Motherwell in 1999 and helped them finish fourth in the Scottish top flight.
He returned to Scotland with Queen of the South in 2002 and helped them win the Scottish Challenge Cup for the first time.
After retiring at the end of the 2003-04 campaign following a season-long spell at Elgin City, he turned to coaching.
Walter Smith ordered Goram to concentrate on football after he ended his cricket career because of his left-handed batting and right-arm medium pace.
