Rangers boss Philippe Clement is adamant that the Ibrox team must use cunning boxing to contend with Celtic in the Scotland trophy race.
As fans wait to hear from Patrick Stewart and Philippe Clement outlines the £30 million task of catching their Old Firm rivals, the Gers are operating on a low budget.
Nils Koppen has promised to go closer to home in his search for fresh players, with Ibrox aiming to acquire one Scottish Premiership player per season.
Not under contract Tony Docherty has been discussing the future of Dens Park talisman Lyall Cameron, a midfielder for Rangers who checks several boxes.
The management of Dundee has made several references to Rangers and Lyall Cameron throughout the season, but there hasn’t been any hard evidence of a connection.
Even this week, former Rangers player Andy Halliday suggested Cameron and Josh Mulligan, a teammate from Dundee, as possible additions to the Ibrox roster.
The situation was then made more intense by Rangers manager Philippe Clement, who named Cameron as one of Dundee’s most “decisive” players.
As the Gers prepare to go to Dens Park in the Scottish Premiership, naturally, there has been a lot of discussion regarding Rangers and Lyall Cameron as a result.
Tony Docherty was asked if he would rather cash in this January or cling onto Lyall Cameron and let him go on a free in the summer.
Some people at Ibrox may be paying careful attention to the Dundee manager’s answer.
“A team winning is what I always want,” Docherty said to Sky Sports.
“I put out a team to win, and Lyall Cameron gives my team a better chance of winning.”
And that’s another development-related issue. Without a doubt, it is a developing club.
One of the young players I highlighted to you is Lyall Cameron, who is currently 21 years old and has made more than 100 games.
Josh Mulligan has already made more than 100 appearances for Dundee.
They are now at a developmental stage where they are making significant improvement. That’s what it is all about for me.
There was a similar circumstance when I first entered the building with Luke McCowan in terms of helping him grow and observe his progress.
“I’ve done it all my career, first as a coach, then as an assistant manager, and now as a manager.
It’s crucial for me as manager right now because I have to strike a delicate balance between winning football games and helping players grow.
“Having Lyall Cameron on my team increases my chances of winning football games.”
Cameron falls under the “category” of Celtic and Liverpool players.
The Gers could be better off thinking about a summer transfer as Dundee is obviously unable to let go of Lyall Cameron despite the contract problem, unlike Rangers-linked Le Havre midfielder Oussama Targhalline.
This would enable Rangers to sign Cameron on a temporary basis and allow him to continue developing with Dundee.
As of right now, Rangers are theoretically free to talk to Cameron.
Lyall Cameron, according to Tony Docherty, has what it takes to advance and is on par with Liverpool left-back Owen Beck and Celtic midfielder Luke McCowan, who cost £1 million.
Under Tony Docherty’s leadership, both players have made significant progress, and the Dundee manager believes Lyall Cameron can continue
Docherty declared, “He’s a very talented young player.”
That’s evident. He adds numbers to what Lyall already has. When he has played in that section of the field, he has added numbers.
He was playing in a deeper role on Saturday against St Johnstone, and even when he plays a little bit deeper, he still scores.
He has genuine intellect and football IQ.
I placed Lyall in the same category as the people I’ve worked with and previously mentioned, Luke McCowan and Owen Beck.
“I just want to see any player I work with grow and improve.” That’s what I do.
“I am aware of my work. In addition to striving to create a successful squad on the field, it aims to develop and enhance football players.
“It can be difficult to achieve that balance, but I will always make an effort to do so and to be honest with the players I work with.”
