As a Celtic fan. The first time I heard this joke by Billy I'd imagined it as a Celtic fan going into the Rangers end. But years later (when I'd practically forgotten the joke) a Rangers fan who I worked alongside, told me the joke but he was imagining it as a Rangers fan going into the Celtic end. Works for both, it's just a great joke.
I'm 52 now, and a Rangers fan since I was about 7 or 8, but I have always loved The Big Yin since I was about 10 or 11, always has been and always will be my favourite Comedian, even though he's a Celtic fan through n through, Big Billy is a God in my eyes, a total Legend. I was totally gutted when he was struck down with Parkinson's Disease, still full of admiration for him as he battles the Disease.
My dad was a personal friend of Billy Connolly and his band mate Tam Harvey, when he wasnt yet famous and his band was 'The Humblebums'. He came from Partick, and wasnt really a football fan at all. He just uses it for the banter. He loves a laugh and music, but not really into football, except to joke about it. Love the guy, he's genuis.
Connar Maxy get back on your xbox or ps4 you wee shit stain i suppose its the only way you can get a win against the celtic these day eh !! COYBIG !!!!!!
I was at the celtic rangers final and a guy next to me had a green and white shirt a green white hat a green and white scarf and he had a wee poodle dug with green and white stripes on it and every time celtic scored a goal the dug stood on it's hind legs and clapped it's paws . I said that's amazing you will make a fortune with that dug, what does it dae when Rangers scores a goal. Oh he said it goes up in the air and does su mmersaults. I said how many? He said it all depends on how hard I kick it's arse.
There's no words to Express how much I appreciate this post!! I grew up listening to Billy Connolly and this is one of my absolute FAVOURITE comedy skits ever!! 9 1/2 guitars is awesome too🇨🇦🏴
@DonforDead What's great is that Billy's clearly a Celtic fan, but you'd never know it from the joke itself. He tells it neutrally, so both Rangers and Celtic fans can laugh equally.
JIM WATF84 Everytime I hear this. It reminds me of big Stu Wilson. Remember the time, he got his skull fractured(with a half brick) and he went around the wrong end at Parkhead? I thought I was seeing things when the ambulance guy brought him round the track to the Rangers end. What a guy btw.

He wasn't one of they cunts "I'll never support Rangers again!" Was he. Ffs. Just after the referendum. There was tonnes of them Jim. I'm no shy. When it comes to telling the truth about what I am. We're part of a PUL community. If it was just Unionists it would be called U same if it was just Protestants. It would be called the P community. No everycunt has the same views Jim. The big argument after the referendum. You know the guy with the MR STRUTH CHANNEL.He said to me. RTID meens more to some people than others. I thought he was spot on mate. Where is it the night Jim. Happy hour.lol

The Alternative Covenant was written by Rev JB Armour and Roger Casement.

No,Rangers are dead so they don't exist any more, they died and buried in 2012AD,so if you want your Rangers back,you'll need a spade ,keep digging,but you'll only find dust Rangers FC,R.I.P.
Rangers still exist, despite what Celtic fans say but in truth you'd be better trying to avoid the two of them, both as bitter and twisted as each other.
Hahahha did u say Rangers who are they aww soz m8 meant the Rangers c non Glasgow Celtice glasgows green and white c mom Bobby sands I'm 12 and know al Celtice history IRA don't call me British I'm Scottish
...The deputation emphasised to Asquith that those who were organising the Ulster Volunteer Force, an illegal militia established to resist Home Rule by force, were for the most part landlords, their tenants & their dependants. These paramilitaries did not speak for the Protestants of Ulster."
Brilliant the way he didn't mention which fan it was who got lost, leaving it up to the audience to decide for themselves. In the beginning, there are a mix of Cheers and Boos from the audience when the Old Firm teams are mentioned. And at the end, no matter what team you support, everyone had a good laugh. The way it should be. Although I do personally believe it was a Rangers fan who got lost in the Celtic section :p
Did u say Rangers m8 the Rangers are deed stop talking crap jobbies are coming out you're mouth talking about tham need a nappy there mate cmon Glasgow Celtice glasgows green and white kill the Rangers aw wait their deed lol
... i went to a catholic school (from 2yrs old to 12 that is) but i'm atheist as well so... besides, in Billy's time there weren't all that many non-catholic schools anywhere :)
@PhilK112 the thing is there wouldnt be any "blood drenched irish terrorist's" if English forces either gave them what they wanted or stayed out in the first place. the prohlem is now the north like beibg "British" but the south are still pissed off about not having it. So they cant give it back and they cant stay without pissing one side or the other off.

Diffently,
I was thinking the same thing. Billy's stories are always funny, no matter how many times you here them.
The man doesn't tell jocks he tell funny stories thanks Billy ❤❤❤❤
I first heard this as a kid on my Uncle's Billy Connolly record, I was on the floor laughing at it!
Brilliant, I totally forgot the punchline, which is always a bonus when you hear it again 😂😂😂
Sending love ❤️…Lyndsay…Are you single?
Beautifully delivered skit, but remember, he never says which teams fan gets the bovril or which craps in the shoes……..
Simply the funniest man ever...love you Billy
CLASSIC! The tears are streaming down my legs😅😅😅😅
Diffently
I'm a Rangers fan but I fucking love this man
“Put it.....on” 😂
The man is the best comic we have ever had!
Kevin Bridges runs him close
His material comes from the late great chick Murray
Guys a fucking legend!
I don't watch him, but over the years when I've happened to see him, he has been churning out the old shipyard stuff.
God bless you Billy. We all love you. Scottish legend.

you always make me laugh til my face hurts god bless you billy I am so glad you made it to the top life would be dull if you had never taken up comedy
Billy, so funny in them days.
This is how I learned about the Old Firm as a 15 year old. Hilarious.
Fantastic!! Ty Billy!!!
And with a guest appearance by Archie at the end made it even better
Billy connolly is so funny , no matter who or what he is talking about, i am a rangers fan thanks
Hilarious story! I would be biased but this is definitely the case of a Celtic fan going into the Rangers end and not vice versa.
I love billy but it's no the same listing to him as watching him still hilarious though
Billy for f--k sake I've never laughed so much in my life brilliant!!
