Scotland's pointed question to their nearest rivals, 'Cannie hear a f*cking thing.' A wind-up chant roared whenever England are getting a quiet result or the Tartan Army just fancy a reminder of who's louder. Part of Scotland's historic football rivalry, and one of the sharpest 'avin a go chants in the game. Lyrics here.
