Vaclav Cerny tells new Rangers owners his transfer answer as Russell Martin can revive 'important' winger deal
The winger was the stand-out performer for the Ibrox side during a disappointing campaign at Ibrox Former Rangers loanee Vaclav Cerny appears to have closed the door on the prospect of a permanent move to Ibrox this summer. The Scottish Premiership giants are in the midst of a major overhaul following the US consortium's takeover with a new manager set to be appointed. Former Southampton boss Russell Martin is the frontrunner ahead of Davide Ancelotti with a final decision expect by Rangers' powerbrokers in the coming days. But after a loan campaign that saw Cerny chip in with 18 goals and nine assists, many fans were hoping to see the Czech Republic international make a permanent move to Glasgow with reports suggesting Wolfsburg are demanding £9million for the 27-year-old. But while on international duty, the attacker appears to have put a full stop on his time in Glasgow as he confessed he left with regrets having failed to pick up silverware. He said: "I managed to play a lot of games, almost 60 in one season, which is wonderful. "I had a wonderful relationship with the fans, I think I gave them a lot of nice experiences, just like they gave me. "I'm just sorry I couldn't win anything with Rangers. But I will have very nice memories, they have a magical stadium. "Memories for my entire career and my entire life, as I wrote on my social networks. I hope I managed to bring them what has always been my thing. A lot of the goals and assists were at our home stadium. "I'm really happy that everything turned out like this. It was nice to say goodbye." However, he concedes he is not certain what the future holds for him amid reported interest from Trabzonspor: "I still have no idea where I will be playing next season. "The only thing I know is that I am returning to Wolfsburg. I have a contract there for two more years. There will be time for a club future after the national team. "I am a regular player at Wolfsburg . The club does not have a coach yet. Of course, I have some preliminary agreements, or I know what is planned for me. "I would like to get the most out of a successful season. "Contact (with Wolfsburg) has taken place, we all want to know where we stand. It has become clear what they expect from me, what I expect from them. "I have received a training plan for the summer and we are moving forward." And if Martin is appointed he could revive an alternative transfer to Rangers that collapsed last summer. Rangers missed out on the signing of Samuel Edozie in the dying embers of the window as the winger saw a move to Ibrox fall through. The 21-year-old – who was a a key contributor for the Saints in the Premier League and Championship – was expected to head to Glasgow but after the loan switch fell through would go on to have a successful loan stint at Anderlecht. Before being shown the door at St Mary's, Martin revealed he had been keeping tabs on the forward during his time in Belgium - insisting he was still involved in the "big picture" at the club. He said: "We've had different people go over and watch him. We are in constant contact, he's doing well and it's been good for him. "He's in a different environment and has a different challenge. He seems to be enjoying it. "We will keep sending people over there a bit regularly to make sure we're having a conversation. "Face-to-face contact is always better and easier. I wish I had the time to go over myself, but at the minute I haven't. "There will be a time when I do. He's an important player for us in terms of the big picture. I think this season will be really good for him." The Daily Echo reporting a major clearout is on the cards following their Premier League relegation - and Edozie will not return to Anderlecht after boss Besnik Hasi branded a deal "far too expensive." Could be offered a career lifeline in Glasgow once again, this time by his former boss?

Ex-Rangers star Vaclav Cerny gives major update on his future as he reveals his main Ibrox regret in honest interview
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) VACLAV CERNY admits his future in Germany is still up in the air after leaving Rangers last month. The winger will return to Wolfsburg in the coming weeks after Czechia's World Cup qualifying double-header against Montenegro and Croatia. Sign up for the Rangers newsletter Sign up 3 Vaclav Cerny appearing to say goodbye to Rangers fans Credit: Willie Vass 3 He became a fan favourite at Ibrox in the end Credit: Kenny Ramsay Cerny, 27, spent last season in Glasgow with the Light Blues and could be set for another move away from the Bundesliga - this time permanently - with several clubs on his trail. He's reportedly a target for Turkish sides Besiktas and Trabzonspor among other clubs. Reports state Rangers will need to pay around £9million to sign him, though, after they didn't negotiate an option-to-buy clause in the loan deal with Wolfsburg last summer. But Cerny, who previously starred for Ajax and FC Twente, has refused to get sucked into any transfer talk ahead of his return to Germany for pre-season. Wolfsburg are currently without a manager following the sacking of Ralph Hasenhuttl last month, with Daniel Bauer placed in charge on an interim basis. And speaking to the media while on international duty this week, Cerny confessed: "I still have no idea where I will be playing next season. "The only thing I know is that I am returning to Wolfsburg because the loan was without an option. I have a contract there for two more years. "There will be time for a club future after the national team. "I am a regular player at Wolfsburg . The club does not have a coach yet. Of course, I have some preliminary agreements, or I know what is planned for me. "I would like to get the most out of a successful season.

It has become clear what they expect from me, what I expect from them. "I have received a training plan for the summer and we are moving forward." Cerny enjoyed perhaps the best form of his career during his season-long stint at Rangers. He scored 18 goals and provided nine assists in all competitions - scoring eight and setting up two in 12 Europa League appearances. It was, however, his antics off the pitch that seemed to put him in the limelight for the most part though - after his infamous 'watergate' incident at Celtic Park. 3 Cerny spraying Celtic fans with water But his biggest regret in Glasgow? That's leaving the club without winning a trophy. He said: "I managed to play a lot of games, almost 60 in one season, which is wonderful. I had a wonderful relationship with the fans, I think I gave them a lot of nice experiences, just like they gave me. "I'm just sorry I couldn't win anything with Rangers.
