Rangers Songs

I've Sailed The Wild Atlantic
Crossed The Broad Pacific Shore
I've Sailed Around The Stormy Capes
And Heard The Forty's Roar
I've Plied The Indian Ocean
I've Sailed The China Sea
But There's A Sea Back Home In Scotland
More Than All The Rest To Me

It's The Blue Blue Blue Sea Of Ibrox
It's The Greatest Sight
That I Have Ever Seen
It's The Blue Blue Blue Sea Of Ibrox
And It's Part Of Every Rangers Players Dream

No More I'll Sail The Seven Seas
No More I'll Ever Roam
No More I'll Feel The Urge Again
I'm Back Where I Belong
At Three O'clock Each Saturday
I'll Join The Mighty Throng
With Flags And Banners All Around
I'll Proudly Sing This Song

It's The Blue Blue Blue Sea Of Ibrox
It's The Greatest Sight
That I Have Ever Seen
It's The Blue Blue Blue Sea Of Ibrox
And It's Part Of Every Rangers Players Dream.

Boys in Royal Blue

There is a team down Ibrox way,
Who wear the royal blue,
They win by night they win by day,
With loyal hearts so true,
Their fame is known in foreign lands,
Where they have one reknown,
The Rangers process now demands,
A valiant victors crown.

Let Hearts and Celtic rise and fall,
They huvny got a clue,
But brightly shines abun them all,
The boys in royal blue.

If you would gang to Copland Road,
To see the lads in blue,
You'll always find a welcome there
For lads like me and you,
The Rangers fans will chant their hymn,
Their battle cry proclaims,
Oh Follow Follow Rangers on,
The Cry will be the same

Let Hearts and Celtic rise and fall,
They huvny got a clue,
But brightly shines abun them all,
The boys in royal blue

Rangers chorus

Have you seen the Glasgow Rangers
Have you seen the boys in blue
They're admired by all who know them
If you saw them so would you
Loved by all they are good sportsmen
For their play they top the poll
There's a roar that beats old Hampden
When they score a winning goal

On the slopes of dear old Ibrox
Thousands gather for their play
And their glorious and victorious
When the Rangers win the day
They have played way in Monaco
They have played in USA
But the greatest game in history
Is the game on New years day

It's the home of famous heroes
And their praises have been sung
Willie Waddell, Torry Gillick
Alan Morton and George Young
So when all my life has ended
And when death has made it's mark
May you scatter all my ashes
On the slopes of Ibrox Park

And with the Angels I'll be singing
Up in heaven in the glen
I'll be happy and contented
When the Rangers win again
On my harp I will be playing
In the sky way up above
I'll be singing Follow Follow
To the Rangers that I love

The Ibrox Disaster

New Year Bells had been ringing,
All of Scotland was singing,
The old year had died,
And the new had been born.
As the news of disaster
From Ibrox came spreading,
The news that would cause
A whole nation to mourn

Two great goals had been scored,
In the last dying moments.
Jimmy Johnstone for Celtic,
For Rangers’ young Stein.
Their supporters all cheered them,
With voices of thunder,
Unknowing what waited on staircase 13

66 people died
Some in flower of their manhood,
When the fences gave way
And the barriers bent,
Seasoned Glasgow policemen their faces all tearstained,
With brave efforts, endeavoured far worse to prevent.

All of Glasgow enjoined,
For the first time in history.
In the Glasgow cathedral no Billy’s, no Dan’s
But the Old Firm united to pray for their victims,
Of a tragedy set in the memory of man.

Derek Parlane, Born is the King of Ibrox Park

"Born is the King of Ibrox Park", cantaron las legiones de Light Blue sobre Derek Parlane, ídolo en los años 70, portando el jersey número 9 de los Gers. Derek Parlane (5 de mayo 1953 en Helensburgh) desde 1970 a 1980 se debió al color azul (hasta partir al Leeds United). En 300 partidos, marcó 111 goles. Ganó dos campeonatos, 3 Copas de Escocia, 2 Copas Scottish League y 1 Recopa de Europa. En 2010, fue incluido en el Hall of Fame del Glasgow Rangers. Parlane hizo su estreno en 1970 a la joven edad de 17, pero dos años más tarde fue artífice del gran triunfo europeo en la Recopa, al derrotar en semifinales al todopoderoso Bayern Munich 2-0. Este triunfo tuvo una relevancia mayor pues el equipo bavaro contaba con una multitud de estrellas, incluyendo a Beckenbauer, Muller, Hoeness, Maier y Roth. Su gol ayudó al Rangers a llegar a la final y ganarla contra el Dinamo de Moscú en Barcelona en 1972. Aunque se perdió de jugar la final europea, Parlane se aseguró un lugar en el equipo para la temporada siguiente y anotó en la final del centenario de la Scottish Cup en 1973 cuando cumplía 20 años.

Bill Struth

Bill Struth (1875-1956) fue el segundo manager de la historia del Rangers Football Club, conduciendo al club durante 34 años entre 1920 y 1954, así como otros puestos en el club, incluyendo el rol de director. Struth es uno de los managers más exitosos de la historia del fútbol escocés, obtuvo 18 campeonatos de liga, 10 Copas de Escocia, 2 Copas de la Liga, 7 campeonatos en tiempos de guerra, 19 Copas Glasgow, 17 Glasgow Merchant Charity Cups y una multitud de otros honores en tiempos de guerra.

Ibrox Disaster

Ocurrió el 2 de enero de 1971 en el final de un Old Firm. Más de 100.000 aficionados cayeron al suelo. Después de 89 minutos de fútbol sin goles el Celtic tomó una ventaja de 0-1 y algunos seguidores del Rangers comenzaron a abandonar el estadio. Sin embargo, en los momentos finales del partido, Colin Stein anotó el empate para los Rangers. Mientras miles de espectadores cayeron al suelo por la escalera 13, parece que alguien, posiblemente llevando a un niño en los hombros, cayó, causando una cadena masiva de amontonamiento de personas
