WITH two penetrating passes Vaclav Cerny sliced open Motherwell's defence as Rangers finally cut down the Steelmen at Hampden on Sunday.
Now the Czech winger is urging his team-mates to sharpen up their own game and help produce the results that could save their under-fire boss from the chop.
Cerny's absence at Pittodrie last week was sorely felt by Philippe Clement as Aberdeen became the latest side to stick the knife in the beleaguered Belgian and his side's hopes of even finishing second in the Premiership this season.
Five goals in his last five games and those two crucial assists against Well show the on-loan Wolfsburg wide man is bucking the trend for Clement's underperforming team. But after resting up last midweek the 27-year-old insists he is ready to go this Thursday as Gers travel to Greece for a daunting Europa League clash with Olympiakos, followed quickly by a home clash with Hearts on Sunday.
The pressure remains on Clement. But Cerny knows it's up to the players to produce just like he did at the national stadium on Sunday.
He said: "That's my job, I want to create things, bring ideas in the final third and I'm trying to be the person to create chances for the team and also for myself.
"Just to be in those positions is very important for me. I'm glad for the past few games it's going well.
"I feel good, fit and that for me is the major thing. That I feel healthy and I can play every three days.
