Rangers winger Oscar Cortes has been called by Colombia - three years after making his international debut.

The South American moved to Ibrox just over two years ago, initially on loan, from Lens before a further loan deal with an obligation to make the transfer permanent for £4.5million.

But his time in Glasgow has been hampered by injuries, the first a serious one just a month after his arrival, and he was shipped out on loan to Sporting Gijon on a season-long loan deal last summer.

However, his time at the Spanish outfit was cut short and he was then loaned out to Argentine Primera Division outfit Huracan.

And now Cortes has been called up to Colombia's national team by coach Nestor Lorenzo as a replacement for Rosario's Jamin Campaz.

Los Cafeteros face Chile in in a friendly double header during the FIFA international break.

Cortes made his international debut in the summer of 2023 in a 1-0 friendly win over Iraq.

Huracan have an option to buy the 22-year-old from Rangers for a fee of up to £1.65m. The Buenos Aires side revealed at the time of the signing that they paid an initial £60,000 loan fee and have three chances to trigger a permanent transfer depending on how quickly they make a decision.

The first starts at £1.35m, the second being £1.5m and then £1.65m at the end of the loan deal, all for which they would acquire 50% of the player's rights.
