Andy Halliday has told Rangers and Celtic to go and sign Scottish players of great potential As Dundee exit terms mooted
Andy Halliday has told Rangers and Celtic to go and sign Dundee gem Lyall Cameron, admitting there is snobbery when it comes to signing Scottish players.

The Gers have seemed reluctant to sign players from other Premiership clubs in recent years and Clyde 1 pundit Halliday has urged the Light Blues to consider Cameron suggesting he would cost less than £1million.
Speaking on the Open Goal YouTube channel (8 October, 1:40:30) he said: “See [Luke] McCowan signing for Rangers or Celtic from Dundee, for that’s a no-brainer signing.
“Dundee fans won’t like this, but Lyall Cameron is the next one. Go and sign him, how much is he going to cost? Less than a million quid.
“I’m not talking about snobbery from Hibs. I’m talking about Rangers and Celtic.”
Si Ferry replied: “Do you think Lyall Cameron could go and play for Rangers and Celtic?”
Halliday responded: “I’m not saying this is the player that’s going to come in and make the immediate impact for you, but when I look at the squad players that Rangers and Celtic have signed over the years and spent good dough on, surely go and sign these boys.”
As Halliday suggests, a deal for Cameron wouldn’t be expensive and while the Light Blues may have to pay a slight premium, they would be signing a player who has shown in the past that they can compete at this level.
Hopefully, Philippe Clement and his recruitment team will take on the former Gers man’s advice in the coming transfer windows and do a bit more business closer to home, both in January and next summer.
