It’s a well-known fact that Celtic are some of the best fans in the world.
Opposition players, managers and fans who have travelled to Celtic Park have all stated it’s among the best they’ve ever heard.
Paulo Maldini, one of the best defenders of all time, even went as far to say: “Every professional footballer should seek to play at least one game at Celtic Park, I have never felt anything like it.”
From listening to 60,000 Bhoys sing ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ to the witty chants for individual players, Maldini is right and you need to hear it.
So, if you’re heading to Paradise and want to get a grasp of some of the chants before you arrive, 67 Hail Hail has compiled a list of the 10 best Celtic chants and songs to hear.

Top 10 Celtic chants
67
Sixty-seven, in the heat of Lisbon,
The fans came in their thousands,
To see the Bhoys become champions.
We are the best team in Glasgow
The Celtic,
We’re the best team in Glasgow,
And we’ve done it all in Europe, when we won in Portugal,
With Cesar, Bertie Auld and big Jock Stein, when we brought the cup to Parkhead, and it still feels like a dream
And in our dreams we all still have, to relive that very day, when we won the cup in Lisbon, on the 25th of May
So I still pray to God, that we go another run, and beat the best in Europe like Jock Stein’s already done
Jota song
When you score you make the Celtic sing,
Jota on the wing! Jota, Jota on the wing,
Every time you’re on the ball we know, there’s gonna be a goal, our super star from Portugal!
Fields of Athenry
Low lie the fields of Athenry,
Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
Our love was on the wing, We had dreams and songs to sing,
It’s so lonely round the Fields of Athenry.
Celtic sent down from heaven
Celtic sent down to us from heaven,
A team that we all adore,
You play for us and we’ll sing for you,
Onto victory once more.
Hail, Hail / Grand Old Team
Hail Hail, the Celts are here,
What the hell do we care,
What the hell do we care,
Hail Hail, the Celts are here,
What the hell do we care now.
For it’s a grand old team to play for,
For it’s a grand old team to see,
And if you know the history,
It’s enough to make your heart go,
GO-OH-OH-OH!
We don’t care what the animals say,
What the hell do we care,
For all we know,
Is that there’s going to be a show,
And the Glasgow Celtic will be there!
Callum McGregor
Callum, Callum McGregor,
There’s no one better,
He’s like me and you,
He loves Celtic too.
The Glasgow Celtic way
And they gave us James McGrory and Paul McStay,
They gave us Johnstone, Tully, Murdoch, Auld and Hay,
And most of the football greats,
Have passed through Parkhead’s gates,
All to play football the Glasgow Celtic way.
Billy McNeill
Oh there’s only King Billy – that’s McNeill,
Oh there’s only King Billy – that’s McNeill,
Oh there’s only King Billy, only one King Billy,
Only King Billy – that’s McNeill,
