Now, what shall we say about wee Max Aarons, born an age ago in the rainy year of 2000, in none other than England? Well, we could start by saying he's avoiding the draft chills by wearing the number 3 jersey for Rangers, sticking himself out on the pitch primarily as a right back. He throws his 5ft 10in (1.78m) frame around the turf, with a rather lightweight 10st 12lb (69kg) behind the muscle. Quite the picture of health, our Max is.
If we are to believe Transfermarkt, our lad's current market value is about £3.4m. A wee bargain in the realm of overpaid footy stars, wouldn't you think?
Now, back in July 2016, young Aarons made the adventurous leap to Norwich City in the English Championship, starting as a trainee. Earned his stripes, didn't he? His debut season in 2018/19 saw a glorious record of 41 first team appearances and a meagre two goals. Seasons 2019 to 2023 can be summed up with many appearances, a few goals, and certainly a few tears, no doubt.
But as all things do, his time at Norwich City came to an end. The fresh-faced defender moved to Bourne-mouth in the prestigious Premier League in August 2023 for a meagre sum of £7m.
Proving himself a committed professional, Aarons managed 23 first team appearances across the 2023/24 and 2024/25 seasons at Bournemouth, and then, with the unpredictability of a Scottish summer, he found himself transferred on loan to Valencia in Spain. Don't we all fancy a little Spanish sun? He made four first team appearances in the 2024/25 season before returning to the dear old English shore.
Bizarrely enough, in another unexpected move, Aarons gallantly transferred on loan from Bournemouth to Rangers up in Scotland in July 2025. Trading Spanish sun for Scottish rain, that's a first. So far, in this current season of 2025/26, he's appeared 17 times and netted one goal for the Rangers.
Impressively, Aarons has also participated in the League Cup, Scottish Cup, Champions League Qualifiers, and Europa League all within the 2025/26 season. Surely, that's enough football for anyone, you'd think. But the game's afoot, we suppose, and there's no end to transfer rumours and seasons - giving the likes of us something to keep prattling on about.
