I say number rather than numbers because that's it - Porteous will wear #5 according to the official Twitter.
Looking at the squad list, all the top numbers are assigned bar #3, #19 and #21 so guessing everyone else will be as they were and new signings will fill the gaps. #12 is also free but we haven't used that in years.

Nisbet 15, Gogic 13 which I believe they've both worn previously in their careers.
Drey Wright was training in number 8 too.

Going by the squad list on the official site Fraser Murray has #12 and Jamie Gullan #19

Other than Whittaker it seems like #3 has laid dormant for a while, or am I missing someone else?

Wright should be 17, but that's Tom James' number - a right back! 😵
I had a lot of love for Riordan wearing the 01 shirt. I was a 12 year old getting to see one of his favourite players return and it just added an extra touch to see something so unusual accompanying it.

P.S. he was a Hearts fan so might explain the unfootball like numbering convention.

I’m my day, before we started getting squad numbers, the team was numbered as follows:-
GK 3
RB 2
LB 3
CB 4 & 5
RM 7
LM 11
CM 6 & 8
FW 9 & 10
I think most teams/players still adhere to this format even with squad numbers... but the Americanism of squad numbers has crept in majorly in the last couple decades... I think Beckham’s 23 (following Michael Jordan) is one of the biggest catalysts for this.

Fraser Murray #12 ?
I thought #12 had been reserved for the fans but maybe I dreamt that ?

Numbers don't mean a lot nowadays, Stevenson has been 16 nearly all his career, Allan took 23, Daz 24 because Hanlon already had 4.

23 was a nod to Jordan. It annoyed me as it’s my Birthday and I like 23 as a number.
Not that I ever had a choice playing rugby in my youth. Those numbers are locked in.
I switched between 1 & 3 (loosehead and tighthead prop).

Daz has been number 24 for a long while as that's the age he turned pro IIRC.

Just watched Ryan Porteous on Sky via twitter. He is taking 25 as he doesn’t think he has ‘earned’ the right to wear 5 yet.
