Barry Ferguson’s Comments on Vaclav Cerny Incident Spark Controversy

Barry Ferguson, a former Rangers captain, has stirred controversy with his comments regarding the incident involving Vaclav Cerny at Celtic Park. During a recent match, Cerny, a player for Twente, was seen pouring water over a Celtic fan, leading to widespread discussion and debate. Ferguson, speaking on the matter, described the incident as 'watergate', a term that has been met with criticism from various quarters, including Celtic fans and commentators.

Ferguson's remarks have been labeled as 'grossly irresponsible' by some, who argue that his light-hearted take on the situation undermines the seriousness of the incident. The event has sparked a broader conversation about player-fan interactions and the responsibilities of former players in their public statements. Meanwhile, Rangers have been undergoing changes under Ferguson and his coaching team, which includes Neil McCann, Billy Dodds, and Allan McGregor, aiming to improve team performance and strategy.
