Cortés began his career in the youth ranks of Colombian top-flight side Millonarios and quickly made his way to the first team.

Speaking about joining Rangers, Cortés expressed his pride and excitement, acknowledging the club’s rich history and positive discussions with manager Philippe Clement. He aims to contribute to the team’s aspirations this season and is eagerly looking forward to showcasing his style of play to the fans.

Giving his thoughts on the new signing, Clement expressed his delight and anticipation of Oscar’s impact on the squad. He believes Cortés’ skillset will provide healthy competition in the forward line as they challenge on multiple fronts.

Rangers’ Director of Recruitment, Nils Koppen, emphasized that Cortés had been a target for some time. His pace, goal threat, and technical ability complement the team’s playing style and offer more options on the wing. The club is confident in their ability to further develop Cortés’ talents and elevate his game to the next level.
