Thank ye kindly for joining me on this brief skip through the illustrious career of one Lyall Cameron, a wee bairn born into the brisk Scottish wind on the 10th of October, 2002. Now in his youthful prime at 23, he thrashes about the footie field, primarily as a central attacking midfielder for Rangers, which some may say is a questionable choice. He stands tall, an impressive 1.8m (5ft 10in) and weighs a solid 74kg (11st 9lb) - an imposing figure to be sure. His shirt proudly bears the number 16, a fact I daresay is appreciated by sixteens everywhere.
Now, as the learned folks over at Transfermarkt would have us believe, young Cameron has accumulated a market value of around, wait for it, €1.80m. Or, if you're not one for fiddling around with euros, that comes up to about £1.5m for us, thank you.
Our footballing journey with Cameron begins as far back as July 2017 when the lad decided to join the Premiership tier club, Dundee, as a trainee. One mustn't forget his valiant stint with Peterhead, snugly nestled in Scotland's League One, before he swapped his blues for dark blues and transferred to Dundee (for an undisclosed fee, mind you).
Then follows a flurry of shuttling back and forth betwixt Dundee and Peterhead, with our lad Cameron thrown into the vortex of professional football. But he held his own, making his mark on the pitch and in the record books with a smattering of league appearances and a handful of goals.
In the maelstrom of the 2024 - 2025 season at Dundee, he even managed 33 first team appearances and nine goals, but who's counting? In a turn that I'm sure surprised absolutely no one, Cameron, ever the traveller, embarked on a loan-spell journey—to Peterhead again and then to Montrose—all in the pursuit of the almighty footie.
Yet, as the dust of his back-and-forth loan journeys cleared, Cameron returned to Dundee in June 2022, only to make another transfer in July 2025 to Rangers. Now, we find him in the midst of the current season with Rangers, having already made four notable appearances in the league.
In a surprising twist to this tale (and by that, I mean not surprising at all), Cameron has even dabbled his feet in the prestigious Champions League pool, taking part in the Qualifiers 2025 - 2026, where he's managed a goal for his efforts. So there's that.
And thus winds up the thrilling - and at times, dizzying - journey of Lyall Cameron. Here's to much movement ahead, and by movement, I mean less team swapping and more goal scoring, of course.
