Oscar Cortes has completed a Rangers transfer deadline day exit.
The Ibrox winger, 21, has joined Spanish club Sporting Gijon on a season-long loan deal.
Cortes, who has played just three times under Russell Martin, travelled to Spain to finalise the switch to the Segunda Division this afternoon.

A Rangers statement confirmed: "We can today confirm Oscar Cortes has joined @RealSporting on a season-long loan deal.
"Everyone at Rangers wishes Oscar well for the campaign ahead."
It's understood that the agreement is a straight loan deal with no buy clause included in the season-long loan switch.

Cortes has rarely featured under Russell Martin at Rangers. His last involvement with the first team was in the 4-2 Premier Sports Cup victory over Alloa Athletic.
The Colombian internationalist played four minutes against Viktoria Plzen in Champions League qualifying and seven minutes against Motherwell in his only other outings.
Cortes signed for Rangers this summer after a loan deal with an obligation to buy was agreed with RC Lens last year.
Rangers paid £4.5m for Cortes but he has been plagued by injury during his time in Glasgow.
Djeidi Gassama and Oliver Antman are ahead of Cortes in the pecking order in his favoured left wing role with Findlay Curtis also emerging as a first-team regular.
It's thought Cortes is keen on a loan move to build up his fitness after injuries heavily impacted on his last two years, with little regular football since 2023.
