NafisaCeltic midfielder Luke McCowan believes Lyall Cameron’s transfer to Rangers is a testament to the impressive progress he has made with Dundee.
The duo shared the pitch at Dens Park for several seasons before McCowan made the switch to the Parkhead club last year.
Cameron will head to Rangers when his Dundee contract runs out this summer. He netted 14 goals and provided 11 assists in all competitions last season, establishing himself as one of the most promising young players in Scottish football.
McCowan quipped that they wouldn’t be in contact again after the 22-year-old completed his move to Ibrox.
He said: “I spoke to him when Dundee came to Celtic Park, maybe just after he’d done it.
“I said, ‘Just to let you know, this will be the last time I speak to you!’.
“No, listen, Lyall is a good player. He’s done well.
“If that’s the move he’s going to go and get it’s a credit to himself because he’s put a lot of hard work in.
“I saw him come through at Dundee when he was 19 and 20. I saw him go on loan to places that he probably wouldn’t have wanted to go to, but he just had to, so it’s a credit to him.”
Cameron scored twice on the final day of the Scottish Premiership campaign to help secure Dundee’s place in the top tier.
He shared his enthusiasm about the Rangers move after the match: “It’s an unknown but it’s a challenge and I’m really looking forward to going somewhere different and challenging myself at a higher level,” said Cameron.
“I accept that I’m going from one of the smaller teams in the country to the biggest so it’s not going to be easy and I’m going to have to work hard for my spot in the team.”
