1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Goals from Jimmy Quinn
Made Parkhead sing,
It was the imagination of Jinky
Playing on the wing.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 It was the presence of Dalglish
That other teams feared,
And the captaincy of McNeil
That safeguarded Celtic’s rear.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 The cheekiness of Auld
When he was on the ball,
Where the pace of Lennox
Always brought a goal.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 It was a life’s work for McStay
And his midfield class,
Tommy Burns’ shimmy,
An Alan Stubbs’ accurate pass.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 John Collins’ free kicks,
Lubo’s cunning magic,
Cascarino’s stunning displays;
Now that was a joke.

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 A die-hard like Peter Grant
Who never let you down,
Goals from Gemmell & Chalmers
Brought history to Glasgow town.

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 From the creation of Brother Walfrid,
To the dream that Fergus brought,
To the traitorous move by Mo Johnson,
Like Judas, he could be bought.

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 For John Thompson, our goalkeeping prince,
To Bobby Murdoch, our midfield hero,
Like Johnny Doyle, a star in the sky,
Legends live, today & tomorrow.

9 Leave a comment on verse 9 0 The fans who travel weekly
To watch the Celtic play,
Are a lifeline to this famous club;
Brought up the Celtic way.
