Martin outlines 'long-term' Rangers left-back plan amid Max Aarons admission

Russell Martin says Max Aarons isn't Rangers' long-term solution at left-back. 

The 25-year-old joined the club earlier this summer on a season-long loan deal from AFC Bournemouth.

Although predominantly a right-back, Aarons has featured on the left in the early stages of his Rangers career so far. 

Martin outlined today, however, that he won't be playing there for long: "Max [Aarons] is not the long-term option at left-back," he said.

"But he is doing a really good job there, playing in this position for now."

Addressing the press, Martin also issued an update on the fitness of Thelo Aasgaard and Hamza Igamane, as well as weighing in on the loan arrival of Tottenham Hotspur winger Mikey Moore. 

He said: "Thelo and Hamza will not be ready for tomorrow.

"Not serious injuries, but we have to be a little bit patient.

"Mikey Moore is a brilliant signing for the club, good for us, good for the player and good for Spurs.

"He is a super talented boy, and we are very excited.

"I want players who are desperate to come here. Mikey is excited to be here.

"We enjoy working with young players, we can help Mikey and we can help us win on the pitch.

"We are waiting on the clearance, so we will need to wait and see."
