We’ve checked it twice.
And now we reveal who’s been Chris Waddle (naughty) or who’s been… John Barnes (nice)…
Because today we begin the countdown to the top Scottish football songs of 2012! Today we’ll reveal numbers 5 and 4, next week number 3 and 2, and, finally, we’ll reveal our Scottish Comedy FC Christmas Number 1.
As Beyoncé once said, pop pickers, can you handle this? I don’t think you can HANDLE THIS!!!
Ooh, the excitement!
So, let’s begin the countdown.
Number 5: Primal Scream’s Unofficial Euro 1996 Anthem
It started our year and it starts our countdown. This is The Big Man And The Scream Team Meet The Barmy Army Uptown (also known as Primal Scream).
What we said:
“There are some songs that transcend their origins and become bona fide classics – this is one of them. A celebration and condemnation of Scottish football in 5 minutes of bass heavy dub by Primal Scream, Adrian Sherwood and Irvine Welsh for a single for the European Championships 1996.”

Number 4: Queen’s Park: The Musical
Why read weighty tomes or supporters potted histories of clubs when you can set the whole thing to music instead. That’s what Queens Park did when they recorded “Ludere Causa Ludendi” – a history of Queens Park put to music.
What we said:
“… to further separate Queens Park from the rest of Scottish football they took a decision that its players would not be paid and to remind them of that duty they adopted the motto: “Ludere causa Ludendi” – to play for the sake of playing. The club is proud to say that no Queen’s Park player has ever having received a wage from the club. A record Hearts can only dream of…”
