Oscar Cortes was injured in midweek at Rugby Park

Rangers winger Oscar Cortes has picked up a "serious" injury that may require surgery, says manager Philippe Clement.

The 20-year-old, who is on loan from Lens with an option to buy, went off injured against Kilmarnock in midweek.

"Oscar has a serious injury and will be a longer time out," Clement told Rangers TV.

"We have also been in contact with Lens, as it is not just a decision for us, so that's a blow for him, the team and all of us."

Clement, speaking before Rangers' home match against Motherwell, added: "It is a really strange one with the action that he did to have a severe injury like that, but we need to look at that in the next couple of days what to do with it - operation or not.

"It is frustrating because we want to build further with him as he was doing good things."
