    I definitely heard it sung by United fans in the shed in the early 80s

    Andy Gray was a guest on a strikers show on Talk Sport i heard it early this morning.He spoke mainly about his career in England but did mention his time at Glasgow Rangers RIP.He mentioned Kevin Drinkell and said,"We never called him Kevin though as it was too posh a name so he was always called Billy."

    Anybody who walks into that FN building is even to this day dragged into the sectarianism cesspit.They cannie FN help themselves and i predict it will never change.

    The thing is, most bears canny be arsed wi the sectarian stuff. There’s plenty of decent bears who are not interested in it at all. The loud minority try to dictate who we should vote for too and they can’t accept that a large chunk at Ibrox are not unionists
