Rangers manager Philippe Clement has addressed an alleged incident that occurred during their Scottish Premiership win over Hibernian on Sunday.

Winger Vaclav Cerny has come under fire for allegedly directing a his frustrations towards Rangers fans.

The Light Blues were leading 1-0 at a nervy Ibrox, thanks to a brilliant first half goal from Tom Lawrence, with the stadium finally filled to capacity following the completion of renovation works in the Copland Road Stand.

However, as Hibs, who missed a penalty to equalise shortly before half-time ramped up their efforts in the second half by pen, Cerny reacted to something.

In a moment of frustration, as he tried to receive the ball for a counterattack, he was intercepted by Hibs, prompting discontent from the Rangers faithful.

"I tell you what, Cerny needs to calm himself down," ex-Gers player Neil McCann said on Sky Sports commentary. 

"He has actually having a go at the fans there - the fans are really unhappy he's not opened up his body with the ball inside and he's remonstrated. He has thrown his arms up and told them where to go."

Asked about the incident involving his summer loan signing, Clement attempted to play down the seriousness of the rift.

Speaking to BBC Sportsound after the game, he said: "It was just about keeping him focused on the game. It's in the heat of the moment.

"He loves it here, he loves the fans, and the fans love him."
