The extent to which Rangers are going to sign Vaclav Cerny from Besiktas
Rangers seem to be leaving no stone unturned to sign Vaclav Cerny from Besiktas.
The Gers are looking to bring the Czechia national back to the club after his impressive loan spell in the 2024-25 campaign.
Last summer, the Light Blues decided against making the 28-year-old winger's transfer permanent, but may be regretting that decision.
Cerny has emerged as a concrete target at Ibrox as Derek McInnes looks for reinforcements out wide.
The attacker eventually moved to Besiktas from VfL Wolfsburg and has been a key player for the Super Lig side.
Despite the forward's importance at the Turkish club, the Glaswegian outfit have shown determination to make his return to G51 a reality.
What Rangers deal for Vaclav Cerny could now depend on
Rangers' talks with Besiktas for Cerny are ongoing, despite acknowledging it will be difficult to pull off because of the finances.
The Gers may be willing to go all out to get a deal over the line for the Czechia attacker after submitting a very serious offer for him.
Veteran Turkish journalist Haldun Domac has claimed that the Light Blues are pulling out all stops to acquire the winger's signature.
The Glaswegian outfit's move for their former loan star could depend on Besiktas manager Vincenzo Italiano's decision.
Speaking on A Spor on 23 August, Domac said: "Rangers are making a great effort to acquire Cerny.
"They have also submitted a very serious offer to Besiktas, but we will see if Vincenzo Italiano will allow him to leave."
What Vaclav Cerny return would mean for other Ibrox attackers
McInnes has moved from a 4-4-2 formation to 4-3-3 in recent matches.
The Scottish manager has had to change his plans after a poor start to the season.
Lawrence Shankland's poor form also hasn't helped the ex-Hearts boss implement his preferred system at the Light Blues.
Kim Min-su is being pursued at Ibrox to strengthen the left-wing and Cerny would certainly add quality on the right.
If the two wingers arrive at the Glaswegian outfit before deadline day and Ross McCausland leaves, McInnes will have five quality options out wide.
Findlay Curtis, Djeidi Gassama and Daisuke Yokota could be a big part of the attacking contingent in Govan as the Scottish manager looks to compete on all fronts.
