For Celtic fans, it is time to look forward to the future rather than dwelling on the weekend's result, which saw the Hoops lose 3-2 at home against Barry Ferguson's side. Of course, Brendan Rodgers will need to figure out what has gone wrong for them against the Rangers in their last two meetings. Three, to be honest, as they conceded thrice in the Scottish League Cup final as well but won on penalties.
The game at Celtic Park could end up impacting the future of a Rangers player though. Someone who found himself in the headlines after the match.
Vaclav Cerny appeared to throw water at Celtic supporters following Hamza Igamane’s winner for the Rangers. As a result, it finds himself in a tricky situation and potentially facing a lengthy ban.
As reported by the Daily Record, it’s unlikely further action will be taken against Celtic or Rangers for the fans’ actions. But Cerny could be in hot water for getting involved with supporters under the SFA rules and could be handed a ban of anything from two to eight games.
Rangers player facing lengthy ban for Celtic Park incident
Of course, even if Cerny is handed an eight-game ban, it is not expected to have much of an impact on the Rangers. That is because they do not have much left to play for domestically this season and are bound to finish without a trophy.
Even then, Celtic fans will want to see Cerny be handed a ban for his actions at the weekend. Let's see what the future holds for the Rangers player.
As for Celtic, there is a need to get things right against the Rangers as soon as possible. They might be running away with the title right now but that might not be the case next season, and then, winning these derbies would be important.
