1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 As the tartan hordes gathered expectation engulfed Glasgow
And the national beverage was in full flow

A sly smile spread on every Scot face, mean , broody and dark

Viciously, no mercy, ripped to shreds like a bonito shark

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 The visitors would be torn amidst much trepidation
Engulfed in the roar of a united nation

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 For it was the 17th of of November, remember that laddie
The world champions would be humbled – they were beaten already

It’ll be a famous scot victory, you hear that lassie?

Nonetheless personified, by the immeasurable Alan Hutton

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 Pressure bore fruit as Fergie of the Rangers at last unleashed hell
The superstitious screamed down the rafters, a wounded prey they could smell

9 Leave a comment on verse 9 0 From the stands watched the good PM Gord
As the visitors were attacked as sacrificial lambs to the sword

The famous victory never materialised leaving many irate

11 Leave a comment on verse 11 0 As Pirlo’s deft delivery left the home defence flapping
Panucci scored with many a head scratching

12 Leave a comment on verse 12 0 Once again Scotland the brave, gallantly miss out on the action
Just what was that legend about Azzurri superstition?

Notes

Scotland the brave
