Rangers showed a lack of class after they won at Celtic Park last Sunday.
Vaclav Cerny disgraced himself after his side’s winner as he skooshed water at Celtic fans from the bench in an incident which could have been uglier than it got.
Dujon Sterling then disrespected Celtic with a comment on social media describing Parkhead as a sh—— following the 3-2 Hoops defeat. It ‘cut the gap’ at the top of the Scottish Premiership table to just 13 points but you’d have been forgiven for thinking it had won the Light Blues a title.
Still, it was Cerny’s nonsense celebrations which sparked an angry reaction from punters and threatens the winger with a ban from the Scottish FA. Police Scotland are also now involved after complaints were made.
The reaction to the incident has been mixed with Simon Jordan taking a weird approach by suggesting a “four act play” has been made out of the moment.
Danny Murphy comments shows he doesn’t understand Celtic vs Rangers scale
Now his talkSPORT colleague and former Liverpool star Danny Murphy has had his say and it’s clear the 48-year-old really doesn’t understand the size and scale of the Glasgow rivalry at all.
“It’s an easy one to solve, if you’re physically involved with supporters whether it’s missiles or whatever, you’re in the wrong,” Murphy began.
Doesn’t matter what you squirt, you’re in the wrong. Just grow up.
“Isn’t it mad though how far we’ve come, the world has come. It is crazy. 20 years ago this would never even have been mentioned. A little bit of water? I get it, it’s a big game and you want people to behave. Especially with the size of that one in Scotland.
“But I think generally most people would say, ‘Oh he’s gone a bit far, it’s not the end of the world, let’s move on’.
Cerny’s Rangers moment of madness has caused a stir
Murphy’s claim that 20 years ago there would have been no mention of the water issue is as naive as it is daft.
Perhaps the Englishman won’t know the history of the fixture – and the fallout from several matches over the years – where cops have found themselves at the centre of it all.
Even a top level summit was announced following the “shame game” from 2011 after Neil Lennon and Ally McCoist’s melee.
Murphy doesn’t get it. And with comments as blasé as his this week, we doubt he ever will.
