RARE PHOTOS: Rangers vaclav cerny transfer fear amid potential return to ibrox - The Real Truth

Now, the Daily Record reports that Rangers have made tentative enquiries regarding a possible transfer for the 28-year-old.

Cerny had wanted to remain in Scotland but Rangers, under the leadership of then-sporting director Kevin Thelwell and boss Russell Martin, decided to pursue other targets.

This decision is now considered a "misstep" in their recent transfer dealings.

While Cerny is understood to be open to a return, Rangers would face financial difficulties in securing his signature.

Besiktas are under no pressure to sell, despite having signed Leandro Trossard in a £17 million deal and being linked with Ghana international Abdul Fatawu.

Cerny’s current contract, which has three years remaining, is worth approximately £45,000 a week.

Any move for Cerny would prove financially challenging for Rangers. Even a loan deal would stretch their wage structure.

As such, a deal seems unlikely unless there is a significant change in circumstances.
