Rangers fans brought their vocal support to Tannadice this week as a rousing rendition of ‘Caledonia’ rung out against Dundee United.
The Gers support have adapted the lyrics to the famous 1983 Dougie MacLean classic in a special version of the song called ‘Ibroxonia’.
Rangers fans were in fine voice from the off in Scotland’s northeast as the some 5000 travelling supporters out-sang the natives in their own stadium.
But it was a Rangers rendition of the classic Scottish song which most turned heads with a clip of the travelling support belting out ‘Caledonia’ since going viral.
Rangers fans belt out ‘Caledonia’ chant
Rangers fans have been clipped singing ‘Ibroxonia’ in a stunning chorus at Tannadice.
The song first started being sung by the Union Bears last season but has since spread throughout the support and is fast becoming the chant of the moment in Glasgow.
With Rangers also being locked out of Ibrox so far this season, the chant has taken on a special dimension as the Gers prepare to return to their spiritual home next week.
Listen to the Rangers support belting out this special version of ‘Caledonia’ below with the lyrics to ‘Ibroxonia’ included underneath.
“So let me tell you that I love you, and I think about you all the time.
“Ibrox Stadium is calling me and now I’m going home.
“To think of life without the Rangers, you know that it would make me more than sad.
“Glasgow Rangers is everything I’ve ever had.
“We won 9-in-a-row and I’m still dreaming, of Brian Laudrup and Trevor Steven.
“Marvin Andrews said ‘Keep believing’, Davie Cooper’s on the wing.
“We remember Gazza with great affection, the day the helicopter changed direction.
“Jimmy Baxter, he was pure perfection, Super Ally scores again.”
Imagine ‘impressive’ rendition at Ibrox
The Rangers version of ‘Caledonia’ gets louder by the match and with the club set to return to Ibrox next weekend, we suspect there will be more clips to come.
The Rangers support are also turning heads with their rendition, as Radio DJ Jim Gellatly praises the Ibrox fans for the ‘impressive’ chant.
Rangers manager Philippe Clement is buzzing for the club’s imminent Ibrox return and seeing all four stands belting out ‘Ibroxonia’ is a tantalising prospect.
Speaking ahead of the return, Clement also praised the travelling Gers support following the victory over Dundee United at Tannadice.
“It’s amazing,” Clement told Sky Sports. “It feels like it’s ten years that we were there.
“It’s amazing to go back there and you see already today our fans made it almost a home game with their support.
“At Ibrox it’s ten times more.
“All the time, all the staff, everybody in the club is looking really forward to feel this energy out of Ibrox again.”
