Rangers are nearing completion of their third transfer of the winter window with the news that Oscar Cortes is all but signed and sealed.
The 20-year old winger is an exciting prospect and early reports suggest that the Colombian has been in Glasgow completing his medical ahead of being presented as Philippe Clement’s newest squad member at Ibrox.
Heart and Hand are the media outlet being brave enough to make the call with Rangers keeping their cards close to their chest on the arrival of Oscar Cortes.
Rangers close to completing Oscar Cortes signing
Two seasons ago, we saw the club’s security team using their BMW X7 to ferry new recruits from Glasgow airport, this time around, leaks are being kept to a minimum.
For example, nobody knew Mohamed Diomande had been granted a work permit until Rangers posted a video of him at Ibrox and Auchenhowie.
Posting on X, David Edgar has claimed that Oscar Cortes is next to follow the young Ivorian in signing for the famous Glasgow Rangers:
It has been a totally different transfer window in more ways than one.
The age and profile of Fabio Silva, Diomande and Cortes is a sign that Nils Koppen is taking the club in an entirely different direction in terms of recruitment.
Add this to the speculation linking Jefte from Fluminense and it’s easy to see why Rangers fans might be excited.
There have been no leaked images from behind the scenes or any pictures from fans at airports.
This is as close as we have got to insider information with the two deals that have been completed so far seeing overseas journalists as the go-to sources.
Rangers need more depth in attack and Oscar Cortes offers exactly that, more importantly, he is a natural on the right-hand side.
Is Daniel Candeias, finally, about to be replaced……
