Lyall Cameron says it is a 'privilege' as he completes move to Rangers

Lyall Cameron says it is a “privilege” after being officially unveiled as a Rangers player.

The midfielder made the move from Dundee on a Bosman after signing a pre-contract deal with the Ibrox club in January.

He will now be aiming to make an impact on new head coach Russell Martin and make his mark on the first team in the season ahead.

Speaking to the Rangers website, he said: “It is amazing to walk in the door, it is a privilege really. I have been looking forward to it for a long time.

“It was a no-brainer as soon as Rangers came in, I was desperate to be here. It is obviously a massive club and the history and everything about it is just amazing. Being from Scotland, I know what the club stands for, so I just wanted to jump at the chance.

“It is a new project, they are looking to build, improve and win leagues again and I really wanted to be a part of it. I want to come here, make an impression, do as well as possible and get this club back to where it belongs.”

Cameron arrives with more than 150 first-team games under his belt, the vast majority with Dundee as well as experience on loan with Peterhead and Montrose.

Despite playing in a team that were battling relegation until the final day of the William Hill Premiership season, Cameron delivered 14 goals and nine assists last season.

“From a personal perspective my numbers were good for a midfielder, so I enjoyed it in that way, but it didn’t come without difficult days to be honest,” he said.

“We had quite a few bad results and we were hanging around the bottom of the league where no one wants to be. It is a learning process, and I feel like I have learned a lot of things at Dundee which can benefit me going forward in my career.

“I have played in Scotland for three years now, I know what other teams are going to bring, what it is like to go to different places so that is a benefit for me. Playing for Rangers is totally different, you are dominating the ball whereas at Dundee I was maybe not doing that as much, but it is a thing that I think suits my game so hopefully I can show that.

“I am grateful for the support I got from the (Dundee) players, staff and fans, but it is a new project, and I think it was time for me to move on and to come to a club like this.”

Cameron could potentially make his debut in a Champions League qualifier that takes place next month.
