The song was recoreded by Gerry and the pacemakers who are Liverpudlian. The club has always had close links with Celtic.

I think it is a Catholic connection from a very, very long time ago.

The cities are very similar with regards to the docks and ports which used to employ the majority of men in the area. Both hard working class cities as well that share the same kind of humour.

Jock Stein and Bill Shankly we're huge friends which also brought the two clubs closer together. I do think there is a Catholic link betwenn both clubs but I dont think its that significant. But I could be wrong.

Quite simply I dont think there is really any reason. Other football clubs all over Europe sing it as well. Like Feyenoord for example.
