Chris Jack Urges Rangers to Settle Lyall Cameron Fee with Dundee to Avoid Tribunal
Scottish football journalist Chris Jack has advised Rangers to proactively negotiate a compensation fee with Dundee for midfielder Lyall Cameron, aiming to prevent a repeat of the protracted tribunal process experienced in the Connor Barron transfer.ย
Cameron, 22, signed a pre-contract agreement with Rangers in February and is set to join the Ibrox club this summer upon the expiration of his Dundee contract. Despite the free transfer, Rangers are obligated to pay a training compensation fee to Dundee, given Cameron’s development at the club. Dundee’s Managing Director John Nelms has expressed a preference for resolving the matter amicably, stating that both parties wish to avoid a tribunal similar to the one that resulted in Rangers paying Aberdeen ยฃ600,000 for Barron .
Cameron’s impressive performance this seasonโ13 goals and 11 assistsโhas heightened his market value. His contributions were pivotal in securing Dundee’s Premiership status, notably scoring twice in a decisive 2-0 victory over St Johnstone in his final game for the club .
Given Cameron’s significance to Dundee and the potential for a substantial compensation fee, Jack emphasizes the importance of Rangers engaging in direct negotiations to reach a fair agreement. This approach would not only expedite the transfer process but also maintain positive relations between the clubs.ย
Rangers’ Technical Director Nils Koppen has expressed enthusiasm about Cameron’s addition, highlighting the club’s commitment to integrating young Scottish talent into the first team . Supporters have echoed this sentiment, with many praising the acquisition as a strategic move to bolster the squad’s future.ย
As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Rangers and Dundee to see if they can finalize the compensation agreement without resorting to a tribunal, ensuring a smooth transition for one of Scotland’s promising midfielders.
