Back in the brilliant spring of 2012 an elderly man with shoulders out of control captured the imagination of a group of football fans.

Using the keyboard of his grandchildren he created We Don’t Do Walking Away, the Gullible & Deluded lapped it up, apparently it was the mood of the time as their club dealt with administration. Fans raised £433,215 towards the £80m debt owed mainly to Her Majesty as they hunted for a sugar Daddy to stop Celtic winning trophies. 

The unknown keyboard player got a visit to Murray Park, manager Ally McCoist loved his rallying cry and a few months later his club was kaput. Administration ended, liquidation started but the popping shoulders and keyboard masterclass lives on, surviving the death of the club.

A decade later Celtic fans adopted a popular song to Jota, their superstar from Portugal. A few months later Ellie Dixon was asked by Patrick Kielty to sing the song on BBC 5 Live!

Soon after Big Bemz joined in, a drummer was found and a classic piano added to the unique Celtic mix. Without a single keyboard or shoulder having to pop.

    The Rangers fan is a harmless example of what a dedicated fan should be.
    Rather that than the Paedo chanting ,fenian hating,knuckle dragging usual example from Mordor.
