Ferguson Urges Rangers to Secure Cerny Permanently After Stellar Loan Spell

Interim Rangers boss Barry Ferguson pushes for permanent signing of loan star Vaclav Cerny after the Czech winger's impressive 17-goal campaign at Ibrox.

Ferguson's Strong Endorsement for Cerny's Rangers Future

Barry Ferguson has made his position clear regarding Vaclav Cerny's future at Rangers, stating he would "love to see" the Czech winger remain at Ibrox next season. The interim manager praised the 27-year-old's impact since arriving on loan from Bundesliga side Wolfsburg.

Cerny's Stunning Impact at Ibrox

The technically gifted attacker has netted 17 times in 44 appearances, becoming a fan favorite with his:

  • Clinical finishing in crucial matches
  • Exceptional work rate off the ball
  • Ability to change games singlehandedly

"He's been outstanding for me," Ferguson told BBC Scotland. "He's a difference maker. What I've loved from him is his work without the ball. It's been excellent."

Transfer Saga and European Interest

Reports suggest Rangers have:

  • A limited contractual window to exercise their purchase option
  • Would need to pay Wolfsburg a preset fee
  • Face potential competition from multiple European clubs

"I would hazard a guess that there's going to be a lot of clubs interested in him," Ferguson admitted, acknowledging the growing transfer speculation.

Off-Field Controversies at Ibrox

The interview occurred amid ongoing disciplinary issues involving:

  • UEFA's suspended closure threat for the Copland Stand
  • Recent €30,000 fine for offensive banners
  • Additional penalties for stadium safety violations

Ferguson emphasized fan support remains crucial: "We don't want to see partial stadium closures or fines. I just want to see my supporters getting right behind my team."

Upcoming Premiership Fixture

Rangers travel to Dens Park this weekend to face Dundee in a crucial Scottish Premiership clash:

  • Date: Saturday, 29 March
  • Kickoff: 17:30 GMT
  • Coverage: Available via BBC Radio Scotland and live text commentary

With the title race heating up, Cerny's contributions could prove decisive in Rangers' championship push.
