    I don't see them as mutually exclusive. Celtic was founded by Catholics and I'm proud of our origins but as you say it was never religiously exclusivist, so why would I label it as a Catholic club? It's a football club not a church.

    True but it was initially religious difference which then became political and it has sort of been stuck that way in the minds of many idiots as you say.

    But to get us back on topic I just thought "friends or foes" wasn't the place for religion but I take your point about past common background.

    I tried to quote you Rude Bhoy but it produces an infuriating amount of code.

    I completely agree but I don't think that is something that should come into this particular thread.

    Not implying anything by this. Just wondering if anyone knows the reason behind them singing this at games ? Thought in here would probably be the best place to ask.

    Never knew Dortmund fans sung it as well.

    Sure Liverpool fans will enjoy reading that.

    You any idea what other teams sing it ? Only answer I could see online was Ipswich Town, Leeds United, Sunderland , Feyenoord and FC Twente.

    EDIT - Werder Bremen play I would walk 500 miles by The Proclaimers when they score.
