Cette chanson commémore la grande victoire du Celtic sur les Rangers en finale de la coupe de la ligue le 19 Octobre 1957 sur le score jamais égalé depuis de 7 à 1 !! Les paroles historiques ne sont pas celles ci-dessous, mais la version la plus connue et celle qui est jouée notamment dans les pubs, est la suivante :
Oh Hampden in the sun,
Celtic 7 and the Rangers 1
All my days I will sing and praise
Of the Celtic team that played that day
Sammy Wilson put the Celtic one up
In the final of the Scottish League Cup
And it was only Neilly Mochan's due
when he nipped in and made it two
[Refrain]
George Niven was all at sea
He couldn't stop McPhail from making it three
And then young Billy sure he made it four
The Celts were heading for a record score
[Refrain]
George Niven with a desperate dive
He couldn't stop Mochan from making it five
And then young Billy with a superb flick
Sure he completed the great hat trick
[Refrain]
Then to make the Rangers sick
Fernie made it seven with a penalty kick
And Charlie Tully sure he's on the ball
He's taking a ride out of Ian McColl
[Refrain x 2]
