The Wolfsburg loanee has been a hit at Ibrox - and his goals have prevented a bad season from being even worse
Rangers fans haven't had much to celebrate recently - but it could've been a whole lot worse without loan star Vaclav Cerny .
The Slovakian winger, signed on a season long deal from Bundesliga side Wolfsburg over the summer, has been one of all too few transfer window successes for the Light Blues - and is one of the only Rangers attackers to earn pass marks for his showings across the whole campaign so far.
Cerny, who cost Wolfsburg £8million when he joined from Dutch side FC Twente in 2023, started as he meant to go on in Glasgow - with his first goal for the club being the winner against Motherwell back in August, as Gers squeaked beyond the Steelmen 2-1. He followed that up by ending an eight game drought with a match-winning brace against struggling St Johnstone at Ibrox and then another winning goal - this time in a 2-1 home success against St Mirren.
The Slovak was on target at Ibrox again at the end of November, salvaging a point with a strike against Dundee, before netting the winner against city rivals Dundee a month later - and continuing his one man mission against the City of Discovery side with the leveller in the 1-1 draw at Dens Park on January 9. Totalled up, his strikes alone have earned the Gers 10 of their 41 points this season.
Cerny's eight goals is the most of any wide player at the club - with Ross McCausland and Rabbi Matondo both netting just twice, albeit with very limited game time. Skipper James Tavernier has also only found the net three times this campaign after scoring 24 last season - while Cyriel Dessers' 12 goals so far still make him the Ibrox club's leading marksman, albeit with that tally likely to be overtaken by the in-form Hamza Igamane.
