Celtic can't resist playful Vaclav Cerny watergate trophy day dig

Celtic couldn't resist a dig at Vaclav Cerny on trophy day. 

Brendan Rodgers' men finally got their hands on the Scottish Premiership title on Saturday afternoon following a 1-1 draw with St Mirren. 

James Forrest salvaged a point late on for Celtic, who were on course for their first trophy day defeat since 2018, when Aberdeen won 1-0 at Parkhead.

Forrest's strike ensured the celebrations were in no way hampered, and in the dressing room post-match, the champagne was sprayed. Celtic posted a picture of the players and made a playful dig at Cerny, who sprayed water towards the Parkhead stands a few months ago: 

Post-match, manager Brendan Rodgers opened up about his future and his conversation with Celtic's majority shareholder, Dermot Desmond: "No, I haven't seen him, but I spoke to him in the week," he said. 

"We'll catch up sometime over the summer, I'm sure. "It's great for him. I'm so proud for him. 

"The belief he's had in me to bring me back and the confidence he gives me in that belief allows me to maximise how I do the job.”

"Listen, it's up to the club. The club might think, three years is enough of me, and that's it.

“But yes. I think one, we'll speak around the team, and obviously, it's always what is most important for Celtic.

"We'll catch up over the summer, but the idea was to just make sure to focus on this season and have no distractions, just focus on performance, focus on winning and then when there's a bit of spare time at the end of the season, we can chat around that.

"There's no rush."
