Ibrox fans, furious at the s8million sale of Cuellar to Aston Villa, will hope boss Walter Smith has unearthed another diamond.

Aaron arrives highly rated having been linked last year with moves to Chelsea, Arsenal, Real Madrid and AC Milan.

He made his Valencia debut against Roma in the Champions League in 2006 and spent last season on loan to Spanish second division side Xerez before joining Iraklis in January.

Aaron bagged three goals in 12 games and looked set to pen a new deal with the Greeks.
