Willie Maley managed Celtic for 43 years between 1897 and 1940, winning 16 Scottish League titles and 14 Scottish Cups, the most major honours any Celtic manager has ever won. This Glasgow Celtic song is a roll-call of the legends he brought through Parkhead's gates. Celtic football club chants don't come with a deeper history. Hear it here.

Lyrics for Willie Maley (Chorus)

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...
