Dundee manager Tony Docherty has addressed speculation linking midfielder Lyall Cameron with a move to Rangers.
Cameron is out of contract at Dens Park in the summer and is currently free to speak to any interested clubs about a potential switch.
He has been offered a new deal to remain at Dundee beyond the 2024-25 campaign, however Docherty concedes that the talented 22-year-old will likely move on after asking to explore options elsewhere.
Rangers are one of the teams keeping tabs on Cameron's progress, which certainly doesn't surprise the Dundee boss.

“Lyall Cameron has been fantastic for this football club," said Docherty during his press conference on Monday.
"He has been absolutely brilliant and you look at his numbers, he has really kicked on. I threw the gauntlet down to him, that with Luke [McCowan] going, that he could step up. He had done that and stepped up to the plate.
“It is no surprise when a player like that is out of contract and there will be interest in him. It is purely speculation at the moment. We have a lot of players, six or seven who are out-of-contract at the end of the season.
“We have identified, as a club, to offer contract extensions and it is then their prerogative what they do with them. A couple have come back and said they will sign and others are exploring their options.
“Lyall is in that category. It is the business we are in and it doesn’t surprise me that there is that amount of speculation about Lyall because he is an extremely talented young footballer.”
