Ferguson & Rodgers quotes in full on Cerny Celtic vs Rangers water spray celebration

Both Barry Ferguson and Brendan Rodgers were quizzed on a furious flashpoint in the match between Celtic and Rangers as Vaclav Cerny squirted water on supporters.

The Rangers winger was running up the touchline to celebrate Hamza Igamane's winner at Celtic Park as he soaked supporters in the home end with liquid from his water bottle.

The act sparked outrage from supporters situated near to the Rangers dugout with tensions threatening to boil over.

Police intervened over the situation separating supporters from approaching the dugout with stewards also forming a barrier between the stands and the Rangers players and staff.

Sky Sports cameras captured a furious exchange between supporters and those in the Rangers dugout, while Cerny laughed off the incident.

Commentator Ian Crocker said: "There's been a problem down by the Rangers dugout."

"I have got to try and focus on my team and that is what I was doing."

Rodgers said: "Right okay. I didn't see it. I went over to the screen to have a look at the goal.
