In the Hoops of Green

In the hoops of green
In colours proud
Players, past & present
Heroes to Parkhead’s crowd.

From Maley’s days
And Jock Stein’s glory
The faithful have grown
On Celtic’s story.

From the streets of Glasgow
From Maryhill Road
To the sidewalks of Toronto
The passion still grows.

As we sing with pride
Old familiar songs
Our culture and faith
We will pass along.

With our Irish pride
In the hoops of green
We will forever support
Glasgow’s Irish team.
