Dundee manager Tony Docherty expresses his delight over Cameron's summer move to Rangers while insisting the player will not drop his standards

Cameron's move has resulted in the youngster receiving criticism from some Dundee fans.

However, Dens Park boss Tony Docherty has reassured supporters the academy graduate will continue to "give everything" for the club until the end of the season.

"I can reassure everybody that when he pulls on that Dundee shirt, he will be giving absolutely everything on every occasion," Docherty told Sky Sports News.

"Every day he comes in here, he tries his best to improve something about his game. He's a perfectionist and he wants to leave here on a real high.

"He realises now that he has a real responsibility to his team-mates, to the staff, to my myself, and to the supporters to do all he can when he pulls on that blue shirt.

"I can assure you, knowing Lyall, that's what he will do."
