Rangers in advanced talks to sign “extremely talented” Barron upgrade

To be fair, the vast majority Rangers fans aren’t exactly happy with the performances they’re seeing at Ibrox at the moment.

During Sunday’s 3-1 win over St Johnstone, the Union Bears staged a 55th-minute exit from Ibrox but received little support from the rest of the crowd, which only fueled new factions within a disgruntled fan base.

A day earlier, the new CEO Patrick Stewart publicly stated that the board “su backing” under-fire manager Philippe Clementdespite the fact that the Gers are 16 points behind the league leaders Celticahead of Wednesday night’s clash with Aberdeen.

Away from home, the Light Blues have won just three of 11 Premiership games so far, he has failed to secure a win in any of his last four away games, scoring a meager 13 times in these games, which is far from ideal, ahead of a crucial visit to Manchester United in the Europa League next Thursday.

Only an improvement in results will lift the spirits of the Rangers support, or perhaps a shiny new signing; the former is far from guaranteed, but the latter could be inevitable.

Rangers are looking for a new midfielder

According to the report of Anthony Joseph and Sahil Jaidka from Sky SportsRangers are in “advanced talks” with Dundee as they look to sign midfielder Lyall Cameron.

The 22-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season, so he could sign a pre-contract, meaning the Rangers would only have to pay compensation for his services.

However, there are suggestions that the Gers are looking to seal the deal this month, with the aforementioned chief executive Stewart speaking over the weekend the club are planning to “accelerate the signing of a player we were planning anyway”, so could it be Cameron?

How Lyall Cameron would improve the Rangers midfield

The Dundee midfielder has really caught the eye in Scottish football this season writer Kai Watson believing he “has the potential to play at a higher level than the Scottish Premiership”.

Cameron scored eight goals and seven assists in all competitions this season, with his side currently seventh in the Premiership table, Dee is aiming to return to Europe for the first time since 2003.

He was not in the squad to face Rangers last Thursday night, nor did he come off the bench during Tuesday’s thrilling 3-3 draw against Celtic at Dens Park, suggesting Tony Docherty may be coming to terms with defeat a player he describes as “an exceptionally talented young footballer,” although he will certainly want Cameron available for next Monday night’s Dundee Scottish Cup derby.

Nicholas Raskin he was Rangers the most used and most successful midfielder this season, but finding partners remains a constant challenge.

It was Connor Barron earlier in the season, but he’s lost his place in the last few weeks, with Mohamed Diomandé often getting the backing, so let’s see how Cameron and Barron compare, given their similar profiles.

As the stats highlight, Cameron is more than a versatile midfielder, who is both a goal threat and also gets stuck in defensively.

In contrast, Barron has yet to register goal nor assist in the Premiership so far since arriving from Aberdeen, making him a solid midfield option, but Cameron offers much more going forward.

Speaking further Scottish Football Community Club on Premier Sports Mondayformer Hibs and Hearts midfielder Michael Stewart has described Cameron’s potential move as financially low-risk, both in terms of a potential transfer or compensation fee and in terms of wages, so if a fee can be agreed, it seems like it would be a shrewd business move.
