Pundit’s insight on Rangers’ chances of signing Vaclav Cerny if the takeover fails. Let me know if you’d like any more adjustments!

Czech international Cerny joined Rangers on loan from Wolfsburg last summer, with a reported £5.5 million buy option included in the original agreement [Record Sport].

If Andrew Cavenagh and the 49ers successfully complete their anticipated takeover in the coming months, securing Cerny at this bargain price should be a priority.

The 27-year-old winger has played a crucial role in Barry Ferguson’s recent success at Ibrox, and the interim manager will undoubtedly push to retain him permanently.

Rangers Takeover Could Impact Cerny’s Transfer

The possibility of making Cerny’s move permanent hinges on the expected arrival of new ownership at Ibrox, according to Andy Walker.

The former Scotland international believes Rangers may struggle to sign the Wolfsburg loanee if the takeover collapses.

Walker argues that without financial backing from the US consortium, the club will likely be unable to afford the £5.5 million fee for the Czech winger.

Speaking on the Go Radio Football Show (27 March), Walker stated: “Everything depends on where Rangers are heading with this potential takeover.

There are reports of significant investment if it goes through. However, if it doesn’t, I don’t see them finding £5.5 million for Cerny.”

49ers Should Prioritize Cerny as Their First Signing

Cavenagh and the 49ers face an easy decision regarding Cerny, given the relatively affordable buyout clause in his loan deal.

Making an immediate statement upon their arrival at Ibrox will be crucial for the Americans, and securing Cerny’s permanent transfer would be the perfect way to demonstrate their ambition.

With Rangers fans expecting their team to compete with Celtic next season, retaining key players is essential.

Cerny has been a standout performer this season, with his goal contributions playing a pivotal role in Rangers’ Europa League quarter-final qualification after overcoming Fenerbahce.

Should the 27-year-old return to Wolfsburg, the German club could demand a significant fee from other interested parties in the summer.

Failing to sign Cerny would likely force Rangers to search for a high-quality right-winger in the next transfer window to maintain their squad’s strength.

While the club appears to be shifting towards a recruitment strategy focused on younger talent, experienced players like Cerny remain crucial for success.

To sustain competitiveness and ensure the squad remains balanced, Rangers must recognize the importance of securing proven performers like Cerny while incorporating emerging talent.
