Homesick?
Now many years ago ma boys I left old Glasgow town, I traveled over to yankie land and here I've settled down, Although I miss the Bridgeton Cross and friends so near and dear, Oh what I'd give If I could have the Rangers over here You can Bum of California with your sunshine all the year, You can Bum about your Broadway lights so clear, For it would fill my heart with gladness, It would fill my heart with cheer, If we only had the Rangers over here We're the finest team in all the land, am sure that you'll agree, To see them win is something grand It's part of history, There the boys that fear no noise ma lad's I mean that quite sincere, Oh what I'd give If I could have the Rangers over hear You can bum of California with your sunshine all the year, You can bum about your Broadway lights so clear, For it would fill my heart with gladness it would fill my heart with cheer...
Brothers Moses and Peter McNeil, plus Peter Campbell and William McBeath were the four founders of Rangers. They met in 1872. Rangers' first match, they played a 0-0 draw with Callander F.C on the public pitches of Glasgow Green in May of that year.
