It’s the second meeting of the sides in the Scottish Premiership this season, a first at Ibrox for Cerny, and he hopes the players can show the best version of themselves to kick-off 2025 with a victory.
Speaking to the media at the pre-match press conference, he said: “It is the Old Firm, it is a huge game for the whole of Scotland.
“For me, it is going to be my first one at home, so we need to get everyone behind us again and this could be a very good moment to get a big win.
“We need to show the best version of ourselves, follow the game plan and stick together no matter what.
“We are all in this together, and me saying that is the honest answer. I see us as a group, not as a manager and the team. We are all one and we want to achieve things together and we want to go for it together.”
With a draw against Motherwell in the last league outing, Cerny was asked about the feeling in the dressing room ahead of the fixture. He continued: “We know what the situation is in every aspect, but we are the ones who are responsible for that.
“We all saw the last game against Celtic in the cup final. I think we were good in that game, we were unlucky, so I think it is logical that we feel like we can win this game. We want to win every game, so it counts for this one too.”
The winger came off the bench for the second-half of Sunday’s game, and when asked about how he is feeling ahead of tomorrow’s match, he added: “I want to play every game but sometimes it is just not possible and there is a huge game coming up. I am feeling much better.
“I have never seen a player who plays every game. I have played every game for the national team, I have played every game for Rangers I was able to play. We have a strong squad, it is normal to rotate and it is just the way it is.
“I want people to think that I am someone who can help this team every single game and that is what I am trying to do also but the other part I want to say is we have a strong squad.”
