Barry Ferguson backed Cerny over the controversy.
But asked if he would have had an issue had one of his players done the same thing, Rodgers said: “Yeah, I would.
“It’s respect, isn’t it.
“I think it’s a lack of respect if a player runs up a touchline and he’s squirting a water bottle in the supporter’s face.
“I certainly wouldn’t want my players to do it.
“Listen, it works both ways.
“There’s a lot that comes to players as well from the stands to coaches, managers and players.
“But I think we all know there’s a line that we shouldn’t cross.
“It is a very emotive game, an amazing fixture, and I thought it was great to have the fans back in.
“I think that gave it that extra bit as well.
“But I just think there is lines we can’t antagonise, because in this fixture in particular, that can lead to an issue.
“I understand the jubilation and Rangers players had every right to celebrate with their supporters.
“You come to Celtic Park – like it would be when you go to Ibrox – and when you win a game of that magnitude you celebrate.
“But not in that way.”
