Feels more energetic and gets the crowd going more… As I say - zero facts! This reads like the benitez facts rant, except you accept you have no facts. Hector it is.

Kenbo Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Prefer the 80s one as i feels more current and upbeat. Although have a soft spot for the Hector version, wouldn't be outraged if they played either TBH... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzas right boot Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 (edited) Both great. Newer version every day of the week for me tho on match day. Gets the blood pumping and the battle fever face oan. Older version is for greetin when 10 beers and 6 shots in, not for the game.

Besides, we always seemed to lose any time Scotty Wilson played it before a game. I called this out a few years ago and tracked it for a bit. Results were inconclusive. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Салатные палочки Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Has to be the 80s version for me. Just gets the plums pumping. Love Hector Nichol's version but it just doesn't get the hairs on the back of my neck up like the '86 one. One of my dad's best mates is a Celtic fan and says, for him, it's the best anthem in Scottish football. We bought him the 'Heartbeat' tape so he could listen to it. He also loved the Back from the Brink video as it happens and borrowed it a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeylandJambo Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I remember listening to the John Peel show one night lying in bed and he reviewed the Colin Chisholm version. Something along the lines of "it's not bad one of the better football songs I've heard". Still prefer the original though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicol had three sons, two of whom died tragically. One choked to death while eating, while another was murdered in a senseless attack.[1] Stephen Nicol, age 19, was stabbed to death by a 15-year-old boy at a bus stop in Edinburgh on 8 June 1973. At trial, it was revealed that the perpetrator, George Riddell, was not motivated by any greed or anger, but had simply decided to stab someone. David Brand, Lord Brand sentenced Riddell to indefinite detention for the murder of Stephen Nicol, who had suffered from a chronic illness.[5] Nicol nearly left the entertainment business after his son's murder.[1] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Mikey Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) Personaly, I'll gladly (and do) belt out any version pre-match. But, I always reckon that 'original is best' when it comes to assessing 'cover versions'. With the 'Hearts Song', can I respectfully point out that the new versions tend to get the lyrics wrong? To wit:- "Though some say that Celtic and Rangers are grand ... " is simply incorrect. Listen to the original:- "Though some say the Rangers and Celtic are grand, the-e boys in maroon are the best in the land" If yer gonna do a 'tribute' then get it right!
