"To a Hun"

O Sevco fans ye blaw and brag,
Wi numbers stitched upon yer flag,
“Fifty‑five titles!” ye like tae drag
Through every chat,
Though countin twelve short seasons’ swag
Disputes aw that.

While we, in hoops o green delight,
Took nine‑in‑a‑row twice, fair and right,
Nae smoke, nae mirrors clouded sight,
Nae tax evadin tales;
Just graft and skill in open light
That seldom fails.

Yer anthem claims ye’re “Simply The Best”,
Yer bigots proclaim they’re “Peepul” blest,
Yet still that Asbestos Arena, in protest,
Creaks roon each stand,
As if it kens the ruthless test
O time’s demand.

So boast awa, let claims take flight,
Mak up moonbeams high on shaky height;
But mind the city’s truest might
Shines bold and bright,
For aw the while, yer still shite,
And Glasgow’s still Green ’n’ White.

​

I've just seen this, BB. Absolutely brilliant. The Bard himself would've struggled to better it.

As JamSam said, post of the year.

The Tommy Burns Season still remains one of the highlights that I have ever experienced going back since my first Celtic game in the early sixties. The football played was just magical like TB himself.
I personally will never forget him. RIP Tommy we all loved you then and still do now.
