Rangers have an opportunity to add Beşiktaş’ Václav Černý to Derek McInnes’ squad and bring him back to Ibrox.
The winger spent the 2024/25 season on loan at Rangers from VfL Wolfsburg. He mainly operated as a right wing-back and a winger, scoring 18 goals and contributing nine assists in 52 matches at Ibrox.
However, Rangers decided against making his stay permanent, and this allowed Beşiktaş to sign him permanently in September 2025.
Return is a possibility
A few weeks prior to that, the Scottish club also sold Rıdvan Yılmaz back to the Süper Lig side. Last September, the 29-year-old revealed his former Rangers teammates’ role in fully convincing him to move to Istanbul.
Václav Černý managed seven goals and eight assists from 2,248 minutes in 34 matches last season. This season, he has four goals and two assists in 19 appearances.
Besides him, Vincenzo Italiano has Ernest Poku as another right winger at his disposal. The latter has two goals and an assist from 214 minutes in seven matches this season. It looks like the duo are facing an uncertain future at the Turkish club.
Derek McInnes’ side have a desire to bring the 29-year-old back to Ibrox, and Fotospor now explain that Rangers have an easy route to secure his services in the winter market.
Encouragement for January deal
Beşiktaş are planning to sign a new right winger in January and have already identified Real Sociedad’s Takefusa Kubo as their main target.
He hasn’t enjoyed regular minutes [458 minutes in 11 matches] this season. The Istanbul club want to offer the Japanese an escape route, and he’s open to joining them.
Prior to securing Kubo’s services, Vincenzo Italiano’s side have to get rid of Václav Černý or Ernest Poku.
Rangers are keen on bringing him back to Ibrox, and luckily for them, Beşiktaş are ready to sell him if there’s a reasonable offer. The outlet makes no mention of a figure.
The Czech has a contract until 2028, with an option for another year, and Transfermarkt value him at €7m. The Turkish club may have to sell him for a fee lower than that considering Černý will turn 30 years of age next October.
What Rangers will offer is as yet unknown.
