Ridvan Yilmaz loses Rangers No.3 shirt to Max Aarons

Ridvan Yilmaz has lost the No.3 shirt at Rangers

New signing, Max Aarons, has today been named as the new No.3 for the Ibrox club.

The Bournemouth loanee is the only new face to start in Russell Martin's first Rangers line-up for today's pre-season friendly game against Club Brugge.

He starts at right-back, with James Tavernier on the bench.

Most noticeably, though, the former Norwich City and Valencia defender has been handed the No.3 kit, meaning Yilmaz has lost his previous number.

The Turk - who has been named on the bench today - is now No.33, having held three since arriving three years ago.

This potentially calls into question his future in Glasgow. 

Yilmaz has been consistently linked with a move back to his homeland during his time as a Rangers player. 

It remains to be seen whether he will be one of the current players Martin wishes to move on, as he continues to shape his new-look squad ahead of Champions League qualifying later this month, as well as the start of the league season at the start of August.
