Rangers launch sensational Vaclav Cerny transfer approach as finances revealed

Rangers have launched a sensational move to re-sign Vaclav Cerny.

The Czechia star lit up Ibrox on loan under Barry Ferguson, and is now currently at Besiktas.

Talk has refused to go away across the summer of Cerny's possible return to Glasgow, but nothing concrete has emerged.

That is until now, with Cerny's return firmly on the radar.

Rangers have failed in moves for Couhaib Driouech and Amario Cozier-Duberry so far, with a marquee winger wanted.

And now, Andrew Cavenagh and Co. are firmly on the offensive to get a deal done in Istanbul.

How much would Vaclav Cerny cost Rangers?

Derek McInnes has been crying out for new wingers at Ibrox, and he hasn't been given the answers yet.

Daisuke Yokota has signed from Hannover and impressed, but more is needed.

And now, the Daily Record reports that a "sensational" return is on the cards for Cerny, with an approach made.

It's said that Besiktas are holding firm on their £8m valuation, which could be problematic as things stand.

Cerny is also on more than £2million annually in Turkiye, which equates to around £40,000-a-week.

The most important part, though, is that the winger would welcome a return to Ibrox permanently with open arms, but lower wages are needed.

Why Rangers can easily make this work

It has been yet another hectic summer in Govan.

Cavenagh and the 49ers have never shied away from spending big money, and that has continued throughout the window.

Cerny may be £8m, but the money is clearly there.

Rangers have made a £7.5m bid for Cozier-Duberry in recent days, so there's a tiny gap between those figures to sign Cerny instead.

Driouech's move from PSV was worth a similar figure too, until his medical saw that deal collapse at the final stage.

Either way, the money is there.

It does smell slightly of desperation, but already being five points behind Celtic, the Bears sort of are right now.

Cerny was nearly the saviour once, and now he knows exactly what it's about in Scotland, he could be ready to go one step further.
