Dundee Star Lyall Cameron in Doubt for Rangers Clash Amid Injury Concern

Dundee midfielder Lyall Cameron faces a late fitness test ahead of Saturday's clash with Rangers after sustaining a training injury, with manager Tony Docherty weighing replacement options.

Injury Cloud Over Cameron Ahead of Rangers Showdown
Dundee FC’s influential midfielder Lyall Cameron (22) is racing against time to be fit for Saturday’s Scottish Premiership clash against Rangers at Dens Park. Manager Tony Docherty confirmed the young playmaker sustained a minor injury during Tuesday’s training session and will undergo scans to determine the severity.

Docherty’s Squad Depth Tested
With Cameron’s pre-contract agreement to join Rangers this summer adding intrigue to the fixture, Docherty emphasized his team’s adaptability: "We’ve got quality replacements like Fin Robertson and Cesar Garza who are eager to step up. Robertson’s been exceptional in training, while Garza returns fresh from international duty with Mexico U23s."

Defensive Boost for the Dark Blues
In positive news, French defender Billy Koumetio (22) is available after a three-month absence due to an ankle injury. His return bolsters Dundee’s backline as they seek to widen their five-point gap over relegation-threatened St Johnstone.

Match Details & Context

  • Venue: Dens Park, Dundee
  • Date: Saturday, 29 March
  • Kickoff: 17:30 GMT
  • Coverage: Live on BBC Radio Scotland Extra, text commentary via BBC Sport

Tactical Implications
Cameron’s potential absence could force Dundee to adopt a more conservative 4-2-3-1 formation, with Robertson slotting into the attacking midfield role. Rangers manager Philippe Clement may see this as an opportunity to exploit Dundee’s right flank, where Cameron typically provides defensive cover.

Season Statistics Highlight Cameron’s Value Metric Value

Assists 7
Chances Created 42

The match could prove pivotal for both sides – Rangers chasing Celtic at the summit and Dundee fighting to secure top-flight status.
