When The Rangers Came To Wolverhampton Town
I'd been in exile for some years And my eyes filled up with tears When the Rangers came to Wolverhampton Town So I took a trip along Just to hear some famous songs When the Rangers came to Wolverhampton Town I stood there all alone While the boys all down from home Sang of Rangers, that team of great renown And a sight I'd never seen, When they sang "God Save the Queen" When the Rangers came to Wolverhampton Town [Chorus] There's not a team like the Glasgow Rangers One of the famous songs they sung And a sight I'd never seen, When they sang "God Save the Queen" When the Rangers came to Wolverhampton Town (Chorus) Now the League Flag must come nearer With men like Bobby Shearer The way he played at Wolverhampton Town And Wolves forever after Will sing of Jimmy Baxter For on his head they placed a noble crown (Chorus) Now I knew it had to happen I heard a mighty roar The famous Glasgow Rangers They had scored And the sky was white and blue Wolverhampton shook right through The Royal Rampant Rangers had come through (Chorus)
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.
