Four new signings have been given traditional ‘starting XI’ numbers. New first-choice keeper David Marshall receives the No.1 jersey; Aussie right-back Lewis Miller takes No.2; young midfielder Nohan Kenneh has been given the No.6 shirt, while Benfica loanee Jair Tavares is the club’s new No.10.
Of the other new signings, attacker Momodou Bojang gets No.17, recently-signed striker Elie Touan has No.23, while Aiden McGeady takes his traditional number of 46.
Christian Doidge retains the No.9 shirt despite speculation linking him with a move away from Easter Road this summer.
