Brendan Rodgers Slams Vaclav Cerny’s Lack of Respect in Old Firm Derby

In a heated Old Firm derby at Celtic Park, tensions flared when Rangers winger Vaclav Cerny was involved in a controversial incident with a water bottle, prompting strong criticism from Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers. Rodgers accused Cerny of showing a 'lack of respect' after the player appeared to kick a water bottle towards the Celtic bench during the match.

The incident, which occurred amidst a fiercely contested game, has sparked widespread debate and criticism from various quarters. Former Rangers captain Barry Ferguson defended Cerny, describing the reaction to the incident as 'pathetic.' However, the majority of the football community, including fans and pundits, sided with Rodgers, condemning Cerny's actions as unsportsmanlike.

The Old Firm derby, always a high-stakes affair, saw Celtic emerge victorious, adding to the intensity of the post-match discussions. Rodgers' comments have reignited the debate on sportsmanship and respect in football, especially in high-pressure games like the Old Firm clash.
