Notes Dick Advocaat's first signing after taking over th hot seat from Walter Smith, Numan signed for Rangers in in May 1998. This was the third time in his career that Numan was to team up with Advocaat (previously with Haarlem and PSV Eindhoven in the Dutch league) underlining the high regard in which Numan is held by Advocaat and many others in the Dutch game.   Alex McLeish also rates the full back very highly, and although Numan looks set to leave Rangers at the end of the current season, he has served the club well.  His driving runs and intelligent link up play have resulted in many Rangers goals during his time at Ibrox.  Arthur is a fantastic professional who has represented Holland at the highest level, appearing in both the USA '94 and France '98 World Cup Finals.
