McCoist jokes Cerny deserves knighthood over Celtic vs Rangers water spray antics

Ally McCoist has joked Vaclav Cerny deserves a knighthood for his antics during Rangers celebrations at Celtic Park.

The Ibrox hero couldn't contain his laughter as he reflected on Cerny's water spray celebration at Parkhead following Hamza Igamane's late winner in the derby contest.

Cerny - who had been subbed off - raced up the touchline to celebrate with his team-mates in front of the travelling support but squirted water on Celtic fans on the way.

The incident sparked fury from home supporters with police and stewards having to step in as tensions threatened to spill over near the Rangers dugout.

McCoist, though, could not stop laughing over the clip as he discussed it on talkSPORT this morning.

The pundit smirked: "By the way, what about Cerny?  I shouldn't laugh!

"It's the ultimate in housery! 

"Then he went back into the dugout and he is waving at them! Well saying he doesn't hang about Glasgow too often. Man alive!"

Further discussing the matter with Andy Townsend and Shebahn Aherne, he joked the Celtic supporter impacted should phone in - before calling for a knighthood for Cerny.

McCoist said: "Give us a call, have you dried out? 

"I watched it about 411 times. The best bit is he goes back into the dugout and he is waving!"

On whether there will be any fallout or repercussions over the incident, McCoist added: "Knighthood I would have thought, is that what you mean? Sir Vaclav Cerny it has got a nice ring to it!"

Co-host Aherne brushed off the result and rendition of Simply the Best from McCoist as she referenced the 13-point lead that remains at the top of the Scottish Premiership.

The Ibrox icon wasn't interested though, stating: "Doesn't matter, we pumped you!"
