Rangers Tipped To Re-Sign Czech Winger: Is He Worth £10m?

Rangers Tipped To Re-Sign Czech Winger: Is He Worth £10m? Rangers could bring Vaclav Cerny back to Ibrox in January, according to GlasgowWorld , which cites Turkish outlet Fotospor. The report claims Besiktas want Real Sociedad’s Takefusa Kubo and must offload either Cerny or loanee Ernest Poku to make room. The 29-year-old Czech international is the favourite to leave, and Rangers are tipped as his most likely destination if they submit a “suitable offer”. Derek McInnes already tried to sign him last summer, after Cerny scored 18 goals and set up nine more in 52 appearances on loan from Wolfsburg in 2024/25. Besiktas rejected a £5.1m opening bid against a £10m valuation, and his £45,000-a-week wages made the deal harder still. Rangers signed other wingers instead. His Besiktas contract runs until 2028. Cerny’s numbers this season explain the persistent interest. According to FotMob, he has two goals and an assist in 10 Süper Lig games, from 15 shots, 1.92 expected goals and 13 chances created. His two goals match his expected tally, so he isn’t running hot. The defensive side worries more. He wins only 25 per cent of his duels and ranks bottom of FotMob’s comparison for aerial contests among similar attackers. McInnes could still use that creativity. Djeidi Gassama, Badredine Bouanani and Findlay Curtis are all 23 or younger, and consistent end product has been hard to find from them. A left-footer cutting in from the right adds a different shooting angle, and Cerny already knows the Scottish game. Is Cerny worth £10million to Rangers? GLASGOW, SCOTLAND – NOVEMBER 05: Václav Černý of Besiktas JK is seen during the UEFA Europa League 2026/27 League Phase MD4 match between Celtic FC and Besiktas JK at Celtic Park on November 05, 2026 in Glasgow, Scotland.

At 29, though, he offers almost no resale value, and FotMob lists his market value at roughly £4.6m (€5.5m). Besiktas paid around £5m for him last September, so a £10m fee would double that outlay for an older player. His wages add roughly £2.3m a year on top. The physical numbers matter too. Premiership games against Celtic and Hearts turn into scraps, and a winger who loses three-quarters of his duels needs a disciplined full-back and midfield behind him. Rangers should also use the timing. Besiktas must clear space for Kubo before they can finish their own business, which gives Rangers leverage they lacked in the summer. If the Turkish club still insist on £10m, McInnes should spend that money on a winger with better duel numbers and more years ahead of him.
