Lyall Cameron bids farewell to Dundee as he picks out 'special' moment at Dens
The 22-year-old academy graduate enjoyed a stellar three years as a senior player at the club, helping fire the Dee to the Championship title in 2023 and scoring 33 goals from midfield.
Cameron became the first Dundee player ever to win all three player awards at the end of the 2022/23 campaign, picking up the Player, Players' Player and Young Player of the Year accolades.
In his first top-flight campaign, the Scotland U/21 star was nominated for PFA Scotland and the Scottish Football Writer's Young Player of the Year awards.
His displays at Dens Park drew the interest of Rangers and he will join the Ibrox club this summer.
Cameron was quick to thank Dundee fans for their support over the years.
He said: 'It seems a long time ago since I made my competitive debut for the club against Raith in the League Cup at 16.
'I've learnt a lot since then and I am proud to have played as many games as I have for Dundee.
'I have decided that now is the time to move on, and I want to thank everyone at the club who I've worked with over the years.
'I want to thank the fans who supported me until the very end and the ovation at the last home game was special to me and my family.
'I was delighted to end my time at Dundee on a high and help the team secure Premiership football next year.'
Dundee have also thanked departing loan players Ziyad Larkeche, Seun Adewumi and Seb Palmer-Houlden after they returned to parent clubs.

Ryan Reynolds sent Wrexham dressing room warning as mega-money double deal eyed
Wrexham's big summer spending spree has raised concerns, with two ex-Wales stars warning that too many new signings could spark unrest in the Hollywood-owned club's dressing room Wrexham have been warned that signing too many new players could backfire on them by causing unrest in the dressing room. The Red Dragons have brought in nine new faces so far this summer after gaining promotion to the Championship in April. Manchester City defender Callum Doyle looks set to become the tenth after a deal worth up to £8million was agreed for the highly-rated youngster. Manager Phil Parkinson is still keen for more, though, following a difficult start to life in the second tier and has a healthy warchest funded by club co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac. Wrexham lost their opening fixture at Southampton 2-1 following a late collapse and were also beaten 3-2 at home by West Brom last weekend. Parkinson made his desire for more arrivals clear in the wake of the most recent defeat, and is now reportedly eyeing a double transfer swoop for two Wales internationals. Liverpool forward Lewis Koumas and Rennes midfielder Jordan James have both been linked with a move to Wrexham in recent days. However, the former Sunderland and Bolton boss has been cautioned that making such a large number of signings is no guarantee of success and could cause disharmony among the squad. The warning was sounded by ex-Wales and Burnley striker Sam Vokes who, speaking on the BBC's Feast of Football podcast, said: "Does he want more players, or more headaches? I saw that comment and I don't know where he can fit them into the squad. "They've lost the opening two and I understand there's a bit of frustration there, but there is a real fine balance of having too many and having an unhappy camp." According to the Liverpool Echo, a significant sum could be required to secure the services of Koumas. It's understood that Liverpool view him as being further along in his development than Bobby Clark, who was sold to RB Salzburg for £10m last summer. Meanwhile, L'Équipe reports that Wrexham have enquired about the availability of former Birmingham player James, with a deal worth around £4.3m claimed to be in the offing. Wrexham's biggest outlay so far during the current transfer window was on luring Ipswich forward Nathan Broadhead to the Racecourse Ground. That deal is reportedly worth an initial £7.5m, but potentially rising to as much as £10m with add-ons. Parkinson tried to downplay the fee paid for Broadhead when questioned last week, joking that it would take Wrexham winning the Premier League and Champions League to hit £10m. But Vokes believes it was a large amount to pay for a player who was in the final year of his contract at Portman Road. "I'm not surprised they've got that much money," he said. "You've only got to see the rise that they've been on. I'm surprised they're willing to spend it, but I hope he proves to be what we hope he is for Wrexham. There's a huge weight on his shoulders with that price tag, he's not had as much football in the last year or so." Iwan Roberts, another former Welsh striker, also chimed in to agree with Vokes, adding: "I think they've paid over the odds for him at £10m. I'm not saying that [it's his fault] at all. Hopefully he can produce the goods and start getting the goals. But I think £10m is a great deal for Ipswich." Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
