about

It's an absolute classic. I love the original and it's great when you hear our song, you know the teams just coming out. And like all the traditional songs, it evokes a lot of Celtic memories that we all have of going to the games. We wanted to put these songs on the album because these are all great Celtic songs, and we knew that we were never going to come close to being anywhere near as good as the originals, but we love the songs and we love singing them.

lyrics

Sure it's a great old team to play for
Sure it's a great old team bedad
When you read its history
It's enough to make your heart grow sad
God bless them
We don't care if we win, lose or draw
Darn the hair do we care
Because we only know that there's going to be a show
And the Glasgow Celtic will be there

Sure it's the best darn team in Scotland
And the players all are grand
We support the Celtic
As they are the finest in the land we love them
We'll be there to give the Bhoys a cheer
When the league flag flies
And it cheers us up when we know the Scottish Cup
Is coming home to rest at Paradise

Sure it's a great old team to play for
Sure it's a great old team bedad
When we read its history
It's enough to make your heart grow sad
God bless them
We don't care if we win lose or draw
Darn the hair do we care
Because we only know that there's going to be a show
And the Glasgow Celtic will be there
And the Glasgow Celtic will be there
