Rangers’ Cerny Faces Police Probe After Water Bottle Incident at Old Firm Derby

In a heated Old Firm derby at Celtic Park, Rangers forward Vaclav Cerny is under investigation by Police Scotland after he allegedly sprayed a water bottle towards Celtic fans. The incident, which occurred amidst the intense rivalry between the two Glasgow giants, has sparked a wave of controversy and added fuel to the ongoing feud between the clubs.

The match, already tense due to the historical rivalry, saw further escalation when Rangers released a statement condemning the use of pyrotechnics by Celtic fans during celebrations. This statement was in response to claims by Celtic that their players and staff were targeted with missiles from the Rangers section of the stadium.

Cerny, who reacted to the incident by calling the situation 'absurd,' now faces potential disciplinary action from both the police and football authorities. The controversy has reignited debates about fan behavior and player conduct during high-stakes matches, with both clubs calling for greater control and respect during games.
