Rangers are in discussions to bring Václav Černý back to Ibrox, potentially reuniting the club with a player who became one of the most productive attackers in Scottish football during his loan spell last season. The talks are still in their early stages, but the intent is clear: Rangers want their goal threat back.
Turkish journalist Murat Ozen reported the interest on the Orta Cizgi YouTube channel, indicating that Rangers have opened a dialogue with Beşiktaş about the Czech winger. Černý only moved to the Turkish club on a permanent deal in September 2025, making any potential transfer a complicated proposition from the start.
What Cerny brought to Rangers the first time
During his loan spell in the 2024-25 season, Černý scored 18 goals and provided 10 assists across 52 appearances in all competitions. In league play alone, he contributed 12 goals in 33 matches.
The loan arrangement came via VfL Wolfsburg, who owned Černý’s registration at the time. After his strong performances at Ibrox, Wolfsburg reportedly set a £9 million asking price for the winger. That figure apparently proved too steep for Rangers, and Černý returned to Germany before eventually moving to Beşiktaş on a permanent basis.
