The SFA has been instructed to sanction the Rangers outcast, as Vaclav Cerny has been criticised for his “pathetic and infantile” behaviour at Celtic Park.

Steve Conroy, a former referee, is adamant that the SFA must take action against Rangers winger Vaclav Cerny in some capacity for his “pathetic” conduct. Police Scotland is currently conducting an

 

 

 

 

investigation into Cerny for spraying water at Celtic supporters during the Glasgow derby celebration of Rangers’ victory. Celtic fought back from a 2-0 deficit to tie the game at 2-2, but they were ultimately defeated 3-2 by their

 

 

 

 

 

city rivals. However, Rangers’ inaugural victory at Parkhead since 2020 was secured by Hamza Igamane’s late goal. Steve Conroy critiques Cerny’s conduct during Celtic’s match against Rangers. Former referee Conroy is unwavering in his belief that Cerny will be punished in some capacity, whether it be through a one-game suspension or a censure from the country’s regulating body.

 

 

 

 

Conroy subsequently characterised Cerny as “pathetic and infantile” in response to the occurrence. “You wonder what the sanction would be; something will happen to him, obviously,” he stated during an appearance on The Ref’s View podcast on SM Media. “He will receive some form of punishment; however, the refereeing team did not make those decisions.

 

 

 

 

“”I am highly sceptical that (fourth official) Don (Robertson) was observing that area in any capacity.” Upon the goal being scored, the initial reaction of the entire team is to verify that all is in order on the pitch. “Once that is resolved, you may proceed to address the dugouts.” Therefore, it had absolutely nothing to do with us (referees). “Nevertheless, the SFA will be obligated to take action, regardless of the specifics.”

 

 

 

 

I am uncertain; do you prohibit him from participating in a particular game? Do you merely condemn him? I am unaware. It was infantile and pitiful. To be candid, it is not a frequently employed strategy by the governing body. Conroy has proposed that they address Cerny’s water-soaked incident through a censure.

 

 

 

 

Players who have spoken out of turn are frequently subjected to a censure. John Gemmell, a former Stenhousemuir player, was issued a censure for his response to a statement made by Ally McCoist on Twitter. Gemmell addressed McCoist’s grievance that Rangers were required to play four matches in 11 days, three of which were away from home.

 

 

 

 

A year later, Brad McKay of St Johnstone was subjected to criticism for referring to former Hearts player Manuel Delgado Lloria as “a typical foreigner” and for accusing him of deception in a separate incident. It may be the appropriate course of action for Cerny. Indeed, a one-match suspension appears to be excessively draconian.
