Get the index of a child node in parent's node using xpath

<table>
    <tr>
        <th class="a">Name</th>
        <th class="b">Old </th>
        <th class="x">New</th>
    </tr>
</table>

In the above snippet using X-path,I need to get the index of the "th"w.r.to "tr" node which is 3.How can I achieve this?

I tried to find the node using 

//aside//table//tr/th[text() = 'New']

But I do not know to find it's relative index

Is there any axis-specifier to get the index of it?

Try below XPath to get node index:

//table//tr/th[text() = 'New']/count(preceding-sibling::th) + 1
