Taken before a match featuring FC Köln, the fans can be heard loudly singing along to ‘Mer stonn zo dir FC Kölle’, which is the club’s anthem and borrows the tune from the traditional Scottish song.
The lyrics to the chorus, translated from German, are: “We pledge to you here our loyalty and honour, we stand by you FC Köln, and we walk with you through fire if it must be, remaining always by your side.”
