"Playing in that Champions League qualifier was like nothing I had experienced before. The manager, Russell Martin, said to me, I know you've played nearly 100 games in the Premier League, but this place is different'. I felt that. You hear about the passion of the fans, but it was just so loud the whole game. They were incredible, and that was a big part of me coming here."
"There's definitely pressure playing for Rangers, but that's something I thrive off as a player, he adds. I want to play in Europe, whether that's the Champions League or Europa League then add the pressure of the Old Firm Derby, which is one of, if not the biggest, in football. I didn't come here with any idea other than to go as far as possible in each competition."
Max Aarons spent five years at Norwich City, making over 200 appearances and establishing himself as a top young Championship defender. He joined Bournemouth for a 7million move and contributed more than 20 appearances as the club achieved its best-ever Premier League finish. Aarons struggled for a regular starting place the following season and moved on loan to Valencia for the second half of that campaign before securing a season-long loan to Rangers. He debuted for Rangers in a Champions League qualifier and described the club's size and fans' passion. Aarons welcomes the pressure at Rangers, aims to play in Europe and to compete fully in every competition, including the Old Firm Derby.
