Vaclav Cerny on the unseen Rangers potential he has spotted as Celtic told there is ‘more to come’

Vaclav Cerny might not be with Rangers for a long time. But the Czech international certainly believes he could be in for for a good time at Ibrox.

 

The Wolfsburg wideman has signed up for a 12-month stint in Glasgow having joined Philippe Clement’s new-look Light Blues on loan. It’s been a mixed bag for the 26-year-old so far, with the highs of an assist on his European debut against Dynamo Kyiv and a stunning first goal against Motherwell soured by the club’s early Champions League exit. But as the former Ajax ace seasons plenty of reason to be optimistic about the season ahead as he gears up for his first taste of Old Firm action this weekend.

 

He said: “It has been great so far. First of all everybody welcomed me so adapting to the team, to the squad and to the people around the club has been amazing for me. This has helped me to adapt quickly and be a part of the team, which is the most important thing when you come to a new place, so everybody helped me a lot.

“The squad is very friendly, so everybody gave me a really warm welcome and from day one it felt very positive. In the games I have played, it is what l have expected from Scottish football. From our side there are a lot of things we have got to improve but that’s normal and it’s good that there are things to improve.

 

“I have a good feeling about it and in the end there is just one thing I have to do and that is give my all. I think it’s going to get easier and easier once l get used to everything around here, but I have a good feeling.

 

“I hope we can make this season an amazing one for literally everyone because I think this club deserves it. I’m here now for one year and that is all I have so I want to give it my best and do the best we can as a team to make it a season to remember.”

It didn’t take Cerny long to make an impression on his new supporters as he swept home with a sublime strike on his first start against Well. “As a winger or an attacker it is such a difficult one if you have to wait for your first goal, so it was an amazing moment to be able to score in one of my first games,” he said.

 

“It helps you as a player and it also helps the people around the club to see that I am capable of helping the team and I just want to keep doing that. It was nice to have an impact straight away and I can’t wait to do it more.”

 

The Ibrox faithful would love to see a repeat on Sunday as they head into battle at the Parkhead coliseum. The Light Blues have been roundly written off as long-shots to get a result against Brendan Rodgers’ champions. But Cerny is encouraged by what he’s seen from his new side.
