Lyall leaves Dee with double gift

DUNDEE secured Premiership football next season yesterday as the departing Lyall Cameron hit a brace to guide them to a 2-0 win at relegated St Johnstone.

The 22-year-old penned a precontract in February to join Rangers but there were no commitment issues on show from Cameron.

He was the star man as Tony Docherty’s Dee eased away from the relegation play-off spot with a well-deserved success.

The diminutive midfielder was everywhere on the McDiarmid Park pitch with a display that was creative, gutsy and clinical.

Saints, in the final game of a 16-year stay in the top flight, failed to muster a shot on target until the 86th minute and finished five points adrift in 12th.

Ultimately, Ross County’s failure to beat Motherwell meant the Dark Blues would have been safe anyway.

But Doc’s men could not have been more comfortable in looking after business against their nearby rivals.
