Finally, Rangers fans have been given some reason for optimism. After falling 16 points behind Celtic in the title race and being humiliated in the Scottish Cup by Queen’s Park, only an unlikely Europa League triumph will prevent them from ending a miserable season empty-handed. Phillipe Clement has already paid the price for the harrowing form, sacked last month and replaced by an old fan favourite in Barry Ferguson.
His interim stint has got off to a mixed start, but after Saturday’s home defeat to Motherwell, suddenly, there is hope for the future. The club has agreed in principle to accept a takeover bid from the group that owns the San Francisco 49ers – a move that should inject considerable funding into the club.But with the 49ers’ financial backing, that block will certainly be removed. Sealing Cerny’s signing long-term would be a major addition, given that he’s already integrated into the squad and proven his ability to shine both domestically and in Europe.
