The winger is at the centre of controversy after his wild celebration following Hamza Igamane’s winner at Celtic Park
Former Czech international Vladimir Smicer reckons Vaclav Cerny will have to be “careful” where he goes in Glasgow after soaking Celtic fans on derby day.
And the Champions League winner reckons it could now be difficult for the Wolfsburg loanee to secure a permanent move to Rangers – despite the 27-year-old opening the door to a deal.
The ‘watergate’ saga has dominated the fallout from Sunday’s derby day victory for Barry Ferguson’s men after Cerny and Nedim Bajrami squirted bottles of water at the home crowd following Hamza Igamane’s late winner.
The Celtic Park crowd were left furious with police and security intervening amid an angry reaction from the Hoop’s support.
Cerny is facing an SFA and police probe over the flashpoint – but has broken his silence on his wild celebration branding the fallout “absurd.
But Smicer believes his actions could have an impact on Cerny’s time in the Scottish Premiership when faced with “aggressive” Hoops’ fans.
He told Sport: “He should keep his nerve. But it’s sometimes difficult for players to keep their cool, not to react to the outbursts from the stands.
In any case, Cerny will have to be careful when he goes to the centre of Glasgow. Some Celtic fans are aggressive, and it could be difficult for him to stay at his club.”
Cerny could still face the beaks for getting involved with supporters under the SFA rules which could ranger from two to eight games.
Hampden chiefs are under pressure from Police Scotland to make sure players don’t get involved with punters in the Old Firm cauldron.
Discussing the situation in Czech media, the wide man said: “I don’t want to say too much, I can’t. I find it a bit absurd.
The stands are so close, to have open water… I didn’t even know what was happening at that moment. I just ran. It’s a derby.
