Rangers could seal brand new signing today – David Edgar
Rangers could finalise the loan signing of Oscar Cortes from Lens as early as Monday (29 January), according to Heart and Hand.
David Edgar posted on Twitter [28 January] that a deal for the Colombian winger is now close to completion.
Cortes was given permission by the Colombian Football Federation to leave the Under-23s camp on Sunday (28) to finalise a transfer.
Heart and Hand said: “The interest on Oscar Cortes is real. Rangers hoping to bring him in on loan in next 24-48 hours.”

Assuming there are no unexpected snags with this deal – and there is no reason to believe that will be the case – this looks another good signing.
While Cortes is not exactly a ‘name’, plenty who have knowledge of French football have talked up his talents after a short time at Lens.
The 20-year-old is a winger and that is always an area that could do with strengthening, even if Philippe Clement does already have options.
