Administration, Dee 4 Life, Claudio Caniggia, chaos rife
Cobra and the Mongoose, Coyne and Wright
Dee fye ant Season, New ground out of town

Nothing beats Derby delight


Paul Sturrock, Jim McLean, Chaaba didn’t know what he was daein’
1980’s Premier highs, few players now to idolize
Walter Rohas, Jerren Nixon, Gary Kenneth, Paul Dixon

The World Famous long ago said its goodbyes

Chorus


You just can’t help loving
Scottish football
Its got increased footfall
You can never predict it
One week its magic
The next its tragic

Verse

Fergie, Cup Winners Cup, Peter Leven kept them up
Scott Booth, Ian Jess, since then an awfy mess
Everybody marvelled at the game down at Darvel
Who was the Dons manager , can anybody guess ?

Willie Ormond, Henry Hall, Craig Leveen answered the call
Muirton Park demolition, Steven Maclean the wrong decision
2 cups during lockdown, was the club sold at a knockdown ?
Last year they almost dropped down a division

The Scottish game is epic
But its sometimes boring
When its low scoring
The Scottish game is epic
You cannae whack it
Could you hold my jacket ?

Graham Souness, David Murray, Craig Whyte left in a hurry
Employee benefits trusts loot, Gazza with a tin flute
Eric Caldow, John Greig, Tam Forsyth crocked legs
Sevco, liquidation followed by relegation

Anje P, Brendan Rogers, Celts were once Hampden lodgers
Lisbon Lions, Inter Milan, club saved by Fergus McCann
Dalglish, Lou Macari, club fell out with Jim Farry

Premiership masters, Champions League disasters

Chorus

Scottish football, can’t predict it
Apart from everything being won
By Rangers or Celtic
We love the Scottish game
Its by no means flawless
Brings misery and soliss

Verse

George Foulkes, Romanov, Wallace Mercer pissed them off
Hearts Trust, Ann Budge, covid relegation grudge

Walter Kidd, Henry Smith, Hi bees took the pith
In 86 Albert Kidd, hurt them bad, yes he did


At Rugby Park great intrigue
After Killie got 4th in the league

Chorus

We love Scottish football
The quality differs
From legends to duffers
We love Scottish football
Its not always classic
Some clubs are borassick

Verse

In 91 Well in heaven, administration , Pat Nevin
Mark McGhee, Terry Butcher, Well Society guards its future
John Spencer, Stevie Kirk, pitch sometimes didn’t work
Club board nix takeover by Netflix

Such icons The Famous Five, Proclaimers helped keep Hibs alive
Alex Cropley, Pat Stanton, fans from Leith to Granton
Scottish Cup and David Gray, now he’s the boss today
Last year was a shambles for the Jambos

Chorus

We love Scottish football
Fans have night terrors
After defensive errors
We love Scottish football
What can you say ?

Its in our D.N.A

In our D.N.,A.
