A lament in the Motherwell programme following Glasgow's closure in 1954. Dont think Rabbie Burns has anything to worry about, nor McGonnagall for that matter!

 

Farewell to the Tigers from the city

Their club we will miss, it is true

But don’t start to cry, it’s a pity

Cause here’s what I’m going to tell you

 

As a “team” their riders are broken

Gone like snow in the sun

But listen to me – I have spoken –

You will see them again, everyone

 

They will scatter may be far and wide

But that’s a fair proposition

Again we will see them side by side

Though riding in team opposition”
