1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Hail Hail Celtic
We sang as very young boy,
When growing up in the Garngad,
Possilpark or Maryhill.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Our first Celtic strip we treasured,
As we wore it every day.
On the backcourt we would kick a ball
Trying to play the Celtic way.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Hail Hail Celtic
We would hear our fathers sing,
As he stood on the steps of Parkhead
Watching the Celtic win.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 He would tell us about big Jock Stein
And the players he watched as a boy,
And he often spoke of how proud he was
To be raised a Timalloy.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Hail Hail Celtic
Our heritage, we will gladly teach,
To our children, as they will travel
To watch the Celtic play each week.

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 And we will grow old with the Celtic
With the players who come and go,
Who will wear with pride the four leaf clover
In the old east end of Glasgow.
