Kris Boyd, a former Rangers striker, has praised the significant impact made by Vaclav Cerny since his move to Ibrox during the summer. Despite a slow start, the Czechia international has been on fire, scoring nine goals and providing five assists in 22 appearances across all competitions this season. His standout performances in the Europa League have been crucial to Rangers’ success, with five goal contributions in as many matches. Boyd believes that without Cerny, his old club would be struggling.
Boyd previously hailed Cerny as Rangers’ best player after their League Cup semi-final win against Motherwell. The winger’s influence on the team has been immense, and his form has been a bright spot in what has been a challenging season for Rangers so far.
On the other hand, Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin has referenced Celtic multiple times in his assessment of his team’s recent performances. Following a disappointing draw with St Johnstone, Thelin highlighted the lack of intensity compared to their game against Celtic earlier in the week. Despite a positive start to the season, Aberdeen have struggled to maintain consistency, with their recent results showing a dip in form.
Thelin acknowledged the energy and preparation his team had against Celtic but admitted that they couldn’t replicate that performance in their subsequent games. He emphasized the importance of mental strength and consistency in order to bounce back from setbacks and maintain their identity as a team.
