Harry Potter Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Remember singing this well known song back in the 70s in the shed. Yes a Celtic song but we had some great singing with this song. Anyone remember certain games when we sang it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nookie Bear Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Before my time, i think. I do remember singing "Hail Hail The Hearts Are Here" on a regular basis in the 1980's. In fact, nothing to stop us resurrecting it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N Lincs Jambo Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Last time I recall it being sung was v Clydebank in the Cup in 77. Might have got sung afterwards but that was the last time I heard it. We got segregation a year or so later and after that only Hibs and Celtic sang it.

I never heard them singing this, but when I was at primary school, my hibs supporting classmate said that they sang a song at the time that went The hearts throw bottles and the hearts throw cans But the hearts run away From the mental hibs fans. I can't remember them ever singing that tho Edited August 1, 2018 by Elmore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a grand old team to go to jail for' ? Through the mists of time......... Don't remember that but I'd say that we mostly started with the grand old team line and didn't sing the Hail, Hail. But I might be wrong. Every team sang You'll Never Walk Alone with the scarf thing, which was sung regularly at Tynecastle. It was Liverpool's anthem, not Celtic's, because Gerry and the Pacemakers were a Liverpool band (quite a few good bands on Merseyside in the sixties of course). And, yes, I remember the 'You'll Never Walk Again' variation. Interestingly enough, the first time I heard Hey Jude at the football, it was being sung by Celtic fans in 1968 (we lost 0-1), when the song was still in the charts, so we can't claim ownership of that one either, though nobody does it better than us now.

No. You're dead right. Man Utd red army started it in the early 70's and it could be heard on Match of the Day ergo we took it up. Then Smelltic took it as their song, Rangers, followed by almost everyone else, decided it was a "Fenian" song so only Celtic ended up singing it.
