Vaclav Cerny raised some eyebrows after what he was seen doing while Rangers were losing to Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday.
Stuart Kettlewell’s team beat the Gers at Ibrox on 1 March, with goals from Luke Armstrong and Tom Sparrow in the first half.
Cyriel Dessers gave Barry Ferguson some hope with his strike in the 54th minute, but the Light Blues eventually dropped three points.
The Bears could not create many opportunities against the Steelmen as every attacker had a day off, including the ever-reliable Cerny.
BBC pundit cannot believe Cerny was playing five-a-side during Rangers loss
Ian McCann could not believe Cerny was trying to play five-a-side style football during the Motherwell loss.
The BBC pundit was baffled that the Czech international was trying to complicate things instead of playing the ball into the box.McCall wanted to see the 27-year-old forward cross the ball instead of playing fancy passes in the final third of the pitch.Speaking on BBC Sportsound (1 March), the Scotsman said: “I thought Cerny today, goodness me. When they were chasing a goal, it was as if they were having a five-a-side going, with gives and gos. I love playing football like that, but when you’re two 2-1 down, sometimes you’ve got to cross the ball.”Ferguson let down by Cerny at Ibrox
Cerny has been pivotal for the Rangers this season, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Glaswegian outfit pursue a permanent deal for him next summer.
The Wolfsburg loanee signed for the Gers last summer and is one of their leading goalscorers in the current campaign.
After a slow start to his season at the Light Blues, Cerny has quickly become a hero at Ibrox, scoring some crucial goals over the last few months.
Philippe Clement had the 27-year-old attacker and some other players to thank as he prolonged his tenure at the Bears before eventually being sacked.
The Czech forward has been ever-present in the Gers’ starting lineup, which has continued under the new managers.
Ferguson came into the Glaswegian outfit’s dugout hoping to bring stability until the end of the season, but that seems challenging.
In the interim boss’ two games in charge, the Light Blues have conceded four goals, highlighting an issue in their backline.
While the Bears scored four goals against Kilmarnock, they have been lackluster for a while now, and Ferguson needs to turn things around or face Europa League elimination.
