When your legs don\u2019t work like they used to<\/p>\n

And don\u2019t keep in sync with your brain,<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll end up playing for \u201cthe rangers\u201d<\/p>\n

And find that it\u2019s not worth the pain.<\/p>\n

You find yourself flying into tackles<\/p>\n

Then find every tackle\u2019s too late<\/p>\n

And when you\u2019re eventually ready to leave there<\/p>\n

You find that they\u2019ve locked all the gates!<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s always the times you remember<\/p>\n

When \u201cyou were the best in the land\u201d !!!!<\/p>\n

And to make sure the world was listening<\/p>\n

You posed with an Orange flute band.<\/p>\n

And your fans belted out all their bigotry<\/p>\n

How they near drowned in some Fenian blood<\/p>\n

And the dressing room chanted that hatred<\/p>\n

With some barrister known as M\u2019Lud.<\/p>\n

But you were gutted it wasn\u2019t reported<\/p>\n

No more is there succulent lamb<\/p>\n

Your canteen\u2019s pre-match special luncheon<\/p>\n

Is a plateful of fritters and spam!<\/p>\n

And as you sip on your own branded whisky<\/p>\n

With a big Yoonion Jack by your name<\/p>\n

Just remember what you do for Scotland<\/p>\n

You do nothing but put us to shame.<\/p>\n

And the toilets you wrecked up at Celtic<\/p>\n

Did you visit with the intention of war?<\/p>\n

Or did you stop and gaze in amazement<\/p>\n

And think \u2013 what the fuck are these for?<\/p>\n

There are plenty who follow \u201cthe rangers\u201d<\/p>\n

Who are decent, upright and proud<\/p>\n

But the ones who watched their team get battered<\/p>\n

Are just scum in an unruly crowd!<\/p>\n

So if you\u2019re wondering why nobody likes you<\/p>\n

Take a good look at some of your fans<\/p>\n

They\u2019re Scottish and sick of your Yoonion<\/p>\n

And the hatred you show to their land!<\/p>\n
