How to watch Derek Cornelius play for first time as a Rangers player this week
Rangers completed a deadline day move for Marseille defender Derek Cornelius, who will bring experience to the back line.
Cornelius was one of two deadline-day signings as Youssef Chermiti also joined Rangers in a move which has caused concern over his price tag.
Rangers needed a defender after a woeful start to the season saw them keep just one clean sheet and win none of their opening four games.
Canada International defender Cornelius has joined on loan with an option to buy, and there is some anticipation that he can become a key player this season.

Canada’s clash with Romania will take place on Friday, September 5, with a kick-off time of 7 pm, and will be played in Bucharest.

Ianis Hagi to face Derek Cornelius
Rangers fans tuning in to watch the game will spot a familiar face coming up against Cornelius, in recently released midfielder Ianis Hagi.
Hagi is still a free agent after departing Rangers at the end of last season, with injuries preventing him from truly reaching his potential at Ibrox.
Canada are one of the hosts of the World Cup next year, and there will be increased focus on preparations within the National Team.
Cornelius has 35 caps to his name as one of the more experienced defenders in the squad, and these games will give Rangers fans an insight into what he can offer when he joins the team.
