Easter Road rivals braced for transfer bid
Dundee starlet Lyall Cameron has been a key player for the Dark Blues this season, but head coach Tony Docherty has admitted that he could leave in the summer transfer window.
Dundee clinched their top six berth earlier this month with a draw at Aberdeen and Hibs’ late capitulation at Motherwell, and Cameron has been a force to be reckoned with at Dens Park, grabbing five Premiership goals from 24 starts in midfield.
Speaking to the press, Docherty said: “I think that’s natural. If you are doing well, of course you are going to attract suitors. I’m sure a lot of the teams might have done that because there have been a lot of strong performers in the squad. But the focus is about performing for Dundee.”
Meanwhile, Kris Boyd believes that Cyriel Dessers is an effective player for Rangers – however, the
18-cap Scottish international also thinks that he is not an ‘out-and-out goalscorer’.
Speaking on Dessers, Boyd said: “A proper outand-out goalscorer will get frustrated at missing chances, but they will keep going back. Dessers keeps going back, but I don’t see the frustration in his game. It’s like: ‘It’s just another chance’. Everybody’s going to miss opportunities, but you’ve got to be prepared to miss them, not let it faze you, keep going back, and take the next one. But with Dessers, it seems to be that when you don’t expect him to score, he does, and when you do expect him to score, he doesn’t.”
Dessers scored six times in 26 appearances for Cremonese last season, but was unable to help the club avoid relegation from Serie A. Previous to his spell in Italy, he spent three seasons at Belgian club Genk as well as a loan spell with Feyenoord in the Netherlands. Much of his professional career has been in those two countries, with other stints at Heracles, Utrecht, Breda and Lokeren.
