The former England Under 21 International was announced on a season-long loan from Bournemouth on Wednesday, as he becomes Russell Martin's first signing this summer. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Aarons being put through his paces Credit: X/Rangers FC 2 The dreaded bleep test Credit: X/Rangers FC The former Norwich City full-back, who spoke highly of Martin as a youngster coming through at the Canaries, has been shown around the training centre. And it wasn't long before he was using the facilities as he was put through his paces, with some tough running drills ahead of the new season. Pre-season started on Monday at Rangers so he will be a couple of days behind his team-mates. Rangers are less than a month away from a huge Champions League qualifier against Panathinaikos so the hard work is well underway. A video on the Rangers X account showed him doing the bleep test as he prepares to get himself sharp to challenge James Tavernier for the full-back position. He told the club's official website: "Walking through the doors here, I definitely felt the weight of the shirt and what it means to everyone. "I spoke to one of my family members last night and I said the pressure of playing for a club of this size is something that really excites me. 'I feel like I play my best when I have that. 'I'm delighted to be here. It's a huge club, you realise that when you walk through the doors. I can't wait to get going." Aarons was on loan at Valencia for the second half of the season but made just four appearances in La Liga and is in need of some regular first-team football. He says he knows a few of his new team-mates already in Dujon Sterling, Rabbi Matondo, Kieran Dowell and Tavernier through his brother Marcus. Reacting to Aaron's arrival, Martin said: 'Max is a player who I have always kept a keen eye on since he was emerging through the youth ranks while I was coming to the end of my time at Norwich as a player. New Rangers chiefs Andrew Cavenagh and Paraag Marathe's first interview "He is a wonderfully talented player who is hungry to develop, improve and help deliver success for his side. 'We are pleased to bring him on board for this season, and I believe he will be a fantastic addition to the squad.'

Despite his impressive performance, Lovenkrands said he was given no indication that he was wanted at the club. He said on Open Goal: "When I was leaving, I got a phone call. "David Murray brings me up to the office and basically says, 'Le Guen is on the phone, wants to talk to you'. Read more: "And I went, 'right, okay'. "So I've got the phone, and he basically said to me, 'if you stay, great, if you don't, I'll just get someone else'. "And I'll never forget that sentence. "It was like, 'I've just scored four goals in the Champions League, 18 goals in the season, and you don't want me to stay? "There was no 'we want you to stay', or whatever, to try and convince you to stay. "It was literally like a hit in the stomach. "If you stay - great. If you don't - I'll just get someone else" @lovenkrands11 on the conversation with incoming @RangersFC Manager Paul Le Guen that decided his exit from Ibrox.

The Dane said: "I agreed the deal but I had to go and do my medical. "Went across to the hospital, done my medical. "On my way back from the medical to sign the deal, I phoned Martin Bain and said 'That's me just done my medical at Schalke, I'm away to sign the deal. "Is there anything you want to say to me? "He was like 'good luck'. "If he'd said 'we'll match it' or 'we'll offer you this', I would have went straight on the plane back. "But he just said 'good luck' and that was it." During his time at Rangers, the left-footed attacker, who could play wide or centrally, was a big favourite at the club and scored several important goals.
