Although Rangers did not make any deals on the day of the deadline, there was some positive news regarding Lyall Cameron.
After signing a pre-contract agreement to join the Gers when his current deal expires at the end of the season, Cameron will be a member of the team come summertime.
As the team looks to try to enhance the number of Scottish talent they bring in from inside, the news was well received. As Kris Boyd and Alan Hutton concurred that Cameron was a wise acquisition and that it is encouraging to see the team follow the Scottish path, a number of former Rangers players are undoubtedly thrilled. Barry Ferguson shared this opinion and had “no doubt” that Cameron possesses the skills necessary to step forward.
However, not everyone has been thrilled by the news; some Dundee supporters have taken it personally and have reacted negatively. Tony Docherty, the manager of Dee, has also been compelled to defend Cameron, saying he is happy the playmaker is receiving his big break.
James McPake discloses that Cameron received a text from the Rangers.
After playing alongside Cameron at Dundee, James McPake was hired as their manager and eventually became his supervisor.
The former center-back has predicted that he would continue to improve, saying he is among the best players he has ever played with. McPake emailed the 22-year-old earlier this season to swear he would be at one side of the Old Firm or Birmingham City before he reached 150 after he had scored a double in a 4-1 victory over Motherwell on his 100th game.
“You won’t get to 150 mate – Celtic or Rangers in the summer, or Birmingham City,” the text said, as The Scotsman learned. The reason for mentioning Birmingham is that McPake took a call from Callum Carsley, the Blues’ assistant technical director and Lee Carsley’s son.
McPake was questioned about Cameron after playing alongside the former England interim manager at Coventry City. Birmingham has made purchases in Scotland, acquiring Scott Wright permanently, Kieran Dowell and Ben Davies on loan from Rangers, Alex Cochrane from Hearts, Scotland international Lyndon Dykes, and former Jambó Marc Leonard. Rangers declared
“I am delighted that we have agreed a deal for Lyall to join the club and to continue his career at Rangers come summer,” Nils Koppen said on the Rangers website when the team revealed Cameron’s pre-contract on the day of the deadline.
He is a gifted young player who has already accumulated a great deal of experience in the Scottish Premiership. It is very vital to all of us at the club to have young, Scottish talent in our first team. “Lyall has a lot of potential, and I’m excited to watch him develop further at Rangers in the years to come.”
