A little help on a chant

For a couple of months I've been trying to figure this out, and I would have rather avoided asking this one, like my last dumb question -- "What does COYBIG mean?" Which, of course, has been answered -- but I've been trying to figure out this chant for months.

It starts off pretty simple:

Celtic! (Celtic!)
Celtic! (Celtic!)
Come on you bhoys in green!
(Come on you bhoys in green!)
Come on you bhoys in green!
(Come on you bhoys in green!)
Glasgow . . .

And there's where I lose it -- I can't understand what is said after "Glasgow." Ridicule me all you want, but I'd like to know how this chant ends.

Hail Hail!

Now that Bill's fixed that for you, I hope when you get up for the game this morning you're ready to give it big licks. Never be shy in asking questions, no one will ridicule you big fella, I like the fact you show such an interest mate. Enjoy the game Icafiero.
 
Thanks, Bill, for the explanation. Now it makes sense.

I noticed that, too, and laughed aloud the first time I heard it. I am sure there is really no reason for it (or is there?), and fortunately that is a tune I kind of know :)

Thanks for the AV help, boab1916. That's one of the YouTube videos I had seen, along with many others (even a Charlie and the Bhoys video where they do the chant during a concert), when trying to figure out the "Glasgow" part of the chant.

I am going to have to keep it down, as it's 6 a.m. and I don't want to wake the household, but now I can chant along at home. Now if only my scarf would get here (I ordered it about two weeks ago) . . . .

Thanks, all!
