Oscar Cortes is Rangers' third signing of the January transfer window

Rangers have signed Lens winger Oscar Cortes on a loan deal with an option to buy the Colombian in the summer.

The 20-year-old joined the Ligue 1 club for £4m last summer from Colombian side Millonarios but has since made only made four appearances, scoring once.

Cortes, Rangers' third winter addition, made his international debut in June as a substitute against Iraq.

"His skillset will provide welcome competition to our forward line," said Rangers manager Philippe Clement.

Talking to the club website, Clement added: "I believe he will be a big asset to the squad as we fight across three fronts for the remainder of this season."

Portuguese striker Fabio Silva on loan from Wolves was Clement's first signing as Rangers manager, while Ivory Coast midfielder Mohamed Diomande arrived from Danish club Nordsjaelland on loan with an obligation to buy.

Meanwhile, Rangers have sent defender Adam Devine, 20, on loan to Motherwell.
