Dundee Utd have brought Lyall Cameron back to Tayside on a season-long loan from Rangers. The 23-year-old midfielder is also in line to be available for Wednesday’s Scottish Premiership trip to Motherwell, a quick turnaround that gives Dundee United another option in midfield straight away.
Cameron's return to Tayside
Cameron arrives after making 120 first-team appearances for Dundee before moving on. Jim Goodwin said the midfielder is already familiar with the city and the club, adding: "He's no stranger to this city and has tasted a lot of success here in his career to date, but he comes from a family of United fans and wants to make his mark in a Tangerine shirt."
Goodwin also said: "We think he will really complement our midfield options and also add that know-how of the club and of the area that he can pass on during his time here." Cameron was just as direct about what he wants to bring, saying he hopes to "create chances and score goals and hopefully get the fans off their feet".
Rangers spell and the next test
The move makes sense because Cameron played only 10 times for Rangers, with half of those appearances coming as a substitute. He spent the second half of last season on loan at Aberdeen and made 17 appearances there, so this is another chance to get regular minutes in a place he already knows well.
Motherwell finished fourth in the 2025 Premiership with 54 points, while Dundee United finished seventh with 40 points. United's last five results were WDLLW, including a 4-0 win at Kilmarnock and a 1-1 draw with Rangers, and Wednesday is a useful first check on how quickly Cameron can settle back in.
