Recommended Posts

Lex McLean brought out a record(plastic music thingy) in the early 1960’s. EOS on one side and R.A.N.G.E.R.S. on the other.

It was played at half time at Ibrox when I was in the main stand , the Scottish Cup game against Duns.

On the way home my dad stopped and bought the record from the shop beside The Angel.

This has always been my favourite Rangers song. I wish it got more airings at games these fays instead of the stupid chants for players who are not very good (Cardoso, Windass), or other songs that have come back but will lead to trouble eventually.

 

We have a huge catalogue of good songs about our team and legendary players, we really should use them more.

Every Other Saturday

Every Other Saturday is a song sung at Ibrox Stadium, Windsor Park and Anfield, the homes of Scottish football club Rangers, Northern Irish Club Linfield F.C. and English club Liverpool.

 

The song was written in the 1960s and originates from an era where Rangers supporters finished work on a Saturday morning, a lot from the River Clyde shipyards, and headed to Ibrox for the afternoon fixture.

 

The song was later adapted by Liverpool fans and can be heard in the pubs by the ground on matchdays and sometimes in the stadium.

 

Rangers Lyrics

Every other Saturdays my half day off

And it's off to the match I go

Happily we wander down the Copland Road

Me and ma wee pal Joe

We love to see the lassies with the blue scarfs on

We love to hear the boys all roar

But I don't have to tell you that the best of all we love to see the Rangers score

Me oh me oh me oh oh my oh how we love to see them try

We've won the Scottish league about a thousand times

The League Cups' a simple do

We've gave some exhibitions in the Scottish Cup

We're game for Wembley Wizards too

And when the Rangers win the European Cup

As we done with everyone before

We'll gather down at Ibrox

A hundred thousand strong

And give the boys a Ibrox roar

Me oh me oh me oh my (etc)

Liverpool Lyrics

Every other Saturday's me half day off

And it's off to the match I go

You’ll see me walking down the Anfield Road

Me and me old pal Joe

We love to see the lasses with their red scarves on

We love to hear the Kopites roar

But I don't have to tell you that best of all

We love to see the Liverpool scooooore (scooore)

We've won the English League about a thousand times

UEFA was a simple do

We gave some exhibitions in the FA Cup

We are the Wembley Wizards too

But when we won the European Cup in Rome

Like we should have done years before

We gathered down at Anfield

Boys a hundred thousand strong

To give the boys a welcome hoooome

Kenny ohhh Kenny

I'd walk a million miles for one of your goals oh Kenny

ohhh Kenny...

I remember another record from the early 60's, the tune of which I've totally lost. But 2 or 3 times during the song there is commentary from a Rangers match, maybe the cup final against Dundee ?? where you hear goals being scored.

A mates dad had it on tape recorder and we spent months without success searching the record shops for it.
