The Wolfsburg loanee reacted negatively to shouts from the Ibrox faithful during the 1-0 win against Hibs on Sunday
Vaclav Cerny reached for a four-letter word as he reacted to his first experience of the Govan grumbles on Sunday.
But Clement played down the incident despite whipping the winger off just seconds later. The big Belgian - who stopped Cerny for a touchline chat before the former Ajax ace trudged back to the bench - explained: "It was just about keeping focus on the game in the heat of the moment. He loves the fans and the fans love him, so nothing special.
“Yeah of course he made a massive save on the penalty and that makes a difference. It's also not been easy the last couple of weeks to be the goalkeeper because he really didn't have much of a job to do because of the good work in front of him but also because of his good coaching and being on top of things with the defence all the time.
“Yes, he’s getting better and better,” said the Rangers manager. “I saw also that the second half he was also more tired and less decisive in his passing and in his shots. So still things to work on. But with Souttar and Robin Propper now bedded in as the Ibrox centre-back pairing, there was no nightmare finale as Gers ground out a fourth straight shit-out. “That takes time,” said Clement.
“But they all keep the structure. They keep doing the things how we want to see it, how we want to defend in our principles and that's important to keep your structure all game. So in that way we didn't give away chances by being out of structure.”
