Rangers to announce Oscar Cortes any time after transfer news from Ibrox
Rangers are set to announce the signing of Oscar Cortes from Lens imminently with the deal to bring him to Ibrox done, according to Four Lads Had A Dream.
The podcast reported via X on Wednesday (31 January) that the winger has arrived in Glasgow and is currently at Ibrox finalising the terms of his move which will see him join Philippe Clement’s side as their third signing of the January window.
While no exact timescale has been placed on the announcement, Cortes is expected to be confirmed as a Rangers player sooner rather than later, with an official statement expected from the Light Blues at any time.
Writing on X, they said: “Oscar Cortes deal is done, he is here and finalising the move Expecting an announcement from Rangers at any time.”
Another one down
Rangers have really stepped up their recruitment in the final days of the January transfer window and the Gers appear to be building Clement a squad which should be more than capable of lifting the Scottish Premiership side this season.
The Gers may still trail Celtic at the moment, but with the right additions this month, they should be more than capable of closing that gap before the end of the campaign and the signing of Cortes is a huge step in the right direction.
Clement likes to play with wingers in his side and at the moment, the Belgian isn’t particularly spoilt for choice in those areas, particularly now that Abdallah Sima is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines having picked up an injury at the African Cup of Nations.
Hopefully, Cortes can slip into the starting XI and compete with the likes of Rabbi Matondo and Scott Wright for a place out wide in the Gers’ team week in and week out. One thing’s for certain and that is supporters won’t have to wait too long for an announcement.
