Vaclav Cerny insists Rangers boss Philippe Clement got squad rotation right as winger declares he WAS tired

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Vaclav Cerny admits he was running on empty before Fir Park – but he’ll be back at full pelt against Celtic. Rangers fans were left fuming after the attacker was left on the bench for the must-win Motherwell clash with boss Philippe Clement insisting the winger needed a break.

Cerny ended up playing almost an hour in the attempted rescue mission as Gers scraped a draw that has left the Light Blues a mammoth 14 points behind Celtic going into today’s Old Firm showdown at Ibrox.

Clement has taken severe flak for the decision but Cerny admitted he WAS tired – and his boss made the right call. He said: “There have been so many games.

So we had a chat, not only with the manager, but with people around who take care of us. I was okay, but I just said it because I was getting tired.
