Rangers offer on the cards after recent transfer twist
Rangers are set for a busy summer with everything surrounding the takeover and potential ins and outs.
The new owners also have to decide on who the next permanent manager will be.
The current hierarchy opted to hire Barry Ferguson on an interim basis after sacking Philippe Clement.
Lyall Cameron offer on the cards by Gers – Mark Guidi
Gers will want to avoid the entire situation that happened with Connor Barron after signing him on a free transfer once his Aberdeen deal expired.
It took several months for the SPFL and the tribunal to decide a compensation fee which Aberdeen were owed because he came up the ranks there.
A deal has already been agreed to sign Lyall Cameron once his Dundee contract runs out, but no compensation has been agreed.

Speaking to Go Radio, Mark Guidi offered a solution.
He said: “Hopefully they can get round the table and be adult about it. Rangers will make an offer which will be lowball, Dundee will ask for something a bit more highball.
“Hopefully they can get together and get something done. And for the player as well, for everybody to know where they stand for budgets in the close season for Dundee.
“Whether it be £200k, £400k, £600k – I have no idea. But that will go into Tony Docherty’s budget. A certainty all round would do everybody the world of good.”
Rangers must initiate formal talks with Dundee over the Cameron transfer
Guidi’s take on Gers’ approach to Cameron’s transfer compensation makes sense because it reflects their financial pragmatism and past experiences.
Rangers, having secured Cameron on a pre-contract, must pay Dundee training and development compensation since he’s an academy product, not a true free agent.
Guidi’s prediction of a “lowball” offer aligns with Gers’ strategy to minimise costs, especially after the prolonged Barron tribunal saga.
A negotiated settlement avoids such delays, providing clarity for both clubs’ summer budgets – Dundee’s Tony Docherty needs funds to reinvest, while Rangers aim to bolster their squad economically.
Guidi’s call for maturity in talks is practical; a swift deal benefits all, including Cameron, who can focus on his move.
Gers could now initiate formal negotiations with Dundee promptly, proposing a reasonable starting figure while being prepared to meet midway, perhaps around £400k-£500k, reflecting Cameron’s potential and Dundee’s investment.
They must leverage sporting director Nils Koppen’s emphasis on homegrown talent to justify the outlay, ensuring the fee fits their fiscal model.
