Rangers ‘will be looking’ into transfer move for 17-goal star as Ibrox legend spots way major deal can be done

The Rangers player’s long-term future is in doubt beyond the end of this season.

A Rangers legend insists the club must be looking into the possibility of signing a goalscoring star this summer transfer window.

Jorg Albertz made himself a hero in Govan over a five year spell between 1996-2001. The former midfielder packed a spell at Ibrox in between two spells at Hamburg and also played for the likes of Fortuna Dusseldorf and Greuther Furth in his native Germany. He has been keeping an eye on the club as Vaclav Cerny makes a telling impact.

On loan from Bundesliga side Wolfsburg, the Czech international has netted 17 times and now debate is emerging over his long-term future. It’s now crunch time over whether or not Rangers pursue Cerny permanently in what would be a major summer move but their former midfielder says even just a hint of success could be enough of a bargaining chip to keep him.

How Rangers could keep Vaclav Cerny

Speaking to the Sunday Post, Albertz said: “I think Cerny has made a great impact, scoring important goals. He looks and feels comfortable within this Rangers. Maybe Wolfsburg will look at this and say: ‘This is the way we want him now’. That a season Rangers has got him on this form and Wolfsburg will take him back. But, at the end of the day, he’s got to have a say in what he wants to do.

“And, to be honest, if you come to Rangers and have a little hint of success and become popular, you will not want to play somewhere else. I came from Germany and fell in love with the club because of the support and success we every season. I loved to play in that atmosphere at home.
