Rangers finalise ‘brilliant piece of business’ as personal terms agreed – Ferguson
Barry Ferguson is delighted that Rangers have signed Lyall Cameron on a pre-contract agreement.
The Gers confirmed on Monday (3 February) that the 22-year-old had signed a deal at Ibrox which will see him join from Dundee in the summer.
After being linked with various sides in the Scottish Premiership, the confirmation of this move represents a coup for the Light Blues which Ferguson is overjoyed to see.
He said to GoRadio (3 February): “I’m Delighted. He’s a player we have spoken about many times. Obviously, it was Lyall and Luke McCowan, who went to Celtic in the summer, those two were standouts last season. Again, he’s just carried that form on and I think it is a brilliant piece of business.
“I’ve seen him plenty of times and I think he’s good enough to play at a club like Rangers. There is no doubt in my mind. 22 years of age, still his best football years in front of him and it is great to see that Rangers are looking at homegrown players from other teams. He certainly fits that bracket. I am excited to see him come in the summer.
“Listen, it might change. He could come tonight who knows? They might try and strike a deal. But Rangers have managed to seal that deal and as I said I am absolutely delighted because I think he can become a very important player for Rangers.”

It is certainly a positive move for the Gers to bring the Scotland under-21 international in considering the level of interest in his signature.
The midfielder has scored five and has assisted four so far in the Scottish Premiership this season, making 22 starts for Dundee.
This output for a player of his age and the fact that he is a homegrown player makes him an attractive prospect for the Light Blues moving forward.
With the aims set out by Patrick Stewart when he took over at Ibrox, this certainly fulfils those ambitions.
Although this may be the case, it is frustrating that Cameron won’t be moving to Govan until the summer as opposed to right now, ready for the rest of the campaign.
Whether this can be changed before the transfer deadline slams shut or not, it will be interesting to see what progress he can make before actually moving to Ibrox in six months time.
