Philippe Clement is relieved Rangers winger Vaclav Cerny ended his European woes against Lyon with a brace against FCSB on Thursday night – calling the former Ajax winger ‘the saddest man in Glasgow’ after conceding an open goal earlier in the month.
Cerny headed over the bar at his mercy to equalize against the French giants before the visitors ran out 4-1 winners in the Europa League clash in Govan – but with revenge on the Romans in sight, Cerny he was alert to the challenge and scored either side of half-time, two superb finishes that blew away the defense and the Ibrox crowd.
He has obvious quality, as evidenced by his five goals in 14 appearances in all competitions – and after returning to his best on Scottish soil, it’s not just his quality on the ball that has been praised , but also his work rate.
