Jukebox Durie is our weekly review of the best (and the worst) Scottish football songs.
Every time Rangers owner Craig Whyte’s questioned about the financial black hole his team found themselves in, he’s made a point of criticising the old board by asking what they did to save the club in its hour of need. I think you’ll find Craig, they tried to stop your takeover. What have you done?
This week, as Rangers fall into administration, as Ibrox staff fear for their jobs, as those who can’t play football (Matt McKay and Mervan Celik I am looking at you) find they could face the dole. it is poignant that we should feature one of Ranger’s newest anthems: Penny Arcade by Sammy King, a song frequently played over the tannoy pre-match and occassionally at half-time.
The lyrics are fitting:
“And music played at the Penny Arcade
Well it played, and it played, played all the time
Roll up and spend your last, roll up and spend your last
Roll up and spend your last dime.”
