Rangers now leading the race to sign a Scottish Premiership midfielder, after their interest increased recently, according to the report.
Rangers are up against inferior opposition
The Gers began 2025 in emphatic fashion, defeating bitter rivals Celtic 3-0 at Ibrox in what should have been the turning point of their season. However, since then they have struggled against some of the weaker sides in the division.
Philippe ClementThe team have shared the spoils in their last two matches, recently failing to put Dundee to the sword despite dominating possession, and likely have little or no chance of catching Celtic.
Despite some poor results this season, Clement still has the backing of management, with chief executive Patrick Stewart most recently saying: “At the moment we are supporting Philippe as a board of directors. It is about taking a deeper look at the problems, solving those problems and staying focused on building a stronger future for the club.
“Changing the manager is not the right solution.”

However, if Rangers are to challenge for the title next season, it is likely that Clement will need to strengthen his squad, and the manager has now identified a major target in midfield.
According to a report in The Sun magazine, The Light Blues are now stepping up their interest in Dundee midfielder Lyall Cameron on the pre-contractual agreement.
Cameron has just a few months left on his contract, meaning the Gers can sign him for free at the end of the season if Dundee fail to agree a new deal.
Clement is said to be a big fan of the 22-year-old, and there seems a good chance he could be on his way to Ibrox this summer, with Rangers now leading the race for his signature.
Cameron could repeat Barron at Ibrox
Connor Barron arrived at Ibrox from Aberdeen last summer, and has quickly established himself as an important player, starting the vast majority of Scottish Premiership games this season.
Cameron’s performances for Dundee suggest he could be capable of emulating his Scotland U21 team-mate, having put in some top performances this term. Scot picked up eight goals and seven assists in 27 appearances in all competitions, showing his versatility playing in attacking and defensive roles as well as left midfield.
Football writer Kai Watson has praised Cameron has been rated as a “quality player” for his “excellent” performances this season, while stating that he is now ready to play for a bigger club.
As such, it is promising news that Rangers are leading the race for his signature and should be looking to get a deal done as soon as possible.
