When the bears were belting out this old favourite. The hairs on the back of my neck were standing on end.

In the face of adversity this song is the best to rally the troops.

I was honestly nearly greeting at full time, they are not tears of sadness but tears of joy.
The best night at Ibrox in a very very long time.
I had to phone in work for a holiday, too many large vodkas after watching the highlights about 20 times when I get home last night.

Nothing as rousing (that we're allowed to sing) in my opinion

Yes FV, it’s brilliant. After TBB it’s the most rousing.
A classic, and legal, and not sung enough.

Best song to give at the lads fired up
Still miss TBB though, Derrys Walls is almost as good

See when you standing at Ibrox and the whole stadium is belting out Derrys walls in unison, is just the best feeling ever for me nothing like it

As much as I love TBB I’ve always preferred Derry’s Walls just a preference it’s an amazing anthem and it was deafening last night.
All together now.
All together now.

Every time I hear the Bears belt it out, I smile knowingly.
I mention to the boy "They're singing my song".

Maybe this older Bear is being pedantic, but I genuinely wish our supporters would sing the correct words to the song:
"King James and all his rebel band came up to Bishops Gate
With heart and hand and sword and shield, we forced them to retreat".
How the wrong words to that second line above came to be altered to "we'll guard old Derry's walls" by so many Bears over the past 20 years astounds me.

I suppose it would have been fitting for Hagi to hear the words, 'God bless the hand that broke the boom, and saved the Aprentice boys!' too!

Guaranteed the minute we sing those lyrics FARE and the snp will go after it.
When a full Ibrox sings it I get goosebumps.

Small point but, I just wish we’d sing the correct words.

I mind watching an old rangers video, I’m sure it was an old documentary about the club and the rangers pools etc and in one of the clips, we were playing the filth at Ibrox and the crowd was singing Derry’s walls, but it sounded amazing and slightly slower than the way we sing it now. The way the songs were sung back in the day would be very welcome back IMO. A lot of heart was put into them, same as it is now but there’s something heartwarming and inspiring about the way the old crowds did it back then!

I get the disdain for FARE but, how could they object more to the proper words than the words used just now?
Absolutely. It's a non-sectarian anthem that commemorates a famous historical event.

The words we sing now sadly make any kind of sense.
I just wish the correct words were sung.

Correct. Too many dont have a clue what the song is about.
Totally agree , it’s fucking electric when sung in this scenario and always seems 10 times louder

My favourite song we sing. There is nothing better than the whole of Ibrox singing this in unison. Simply brilliant
