‘We need to stick together to string a run of good games’ – Cerny

Must read

Vaclav Cerny hopes Rangers’ League Cup semi-final win can kick-start “a good run of good games again” as their attention turns to Europe.

Phillipe Clement’s side completed a second-half comeback against Motherwell and they will defend their trophy next month against Celtic in the final at Hampden.

Cerny was reluctant to look too far ahead but said of next month’s meeting: “I think every chance you have to win a trophy is huge for us as players and all the staff.

“It’s so tough to focus on that now because there are so many games, but the dream is there to win it again, definitely, and we’re going to go for it.”

Now, though, they go to Greece to face Olympiakos in the Europa League and Cerny is urging his team-mates to use the weekend win as “confidence”.

“[The win was] very important for confidence, for sticking together to make a good run of good games again,” said the Czech Republic international, on loan from Bundesliga club Wolfsburg.

“We’re going to prepare for the game in the upcoming days and it’s always been a nice stadium and a nice football environment.

“So I’m looking forward to that, another country to play in, another big club to play against and we’re going to do everything we can to get a very good result.

“I have played in places like that already, and I kind of enjoyed it and even though it’s not full of your supporters, it can be a nice experience.”
