Cameron was so uncertain about how his football career would pan out he has ongoing degree course as Plan B
YOU could forgive Lyall Cameron for pinching himself at some point.
Just so he knows for sure that it's actually happening.
Not that he doesn't deserve to be a Rangers player. Or that he's not earned it. You bet he has. And the 22-year-old Scot is hellbent on embracing it.
At one stage though, as a Dundee player, he was so worried about his future he enrolled in an Open University degree course.
Cameron is humble enough to admit that when he was plying his trade at Dens Park he feared he might not even make it as a professional footballer.
The fact he has - and got himself a move to Rangers - tells you everything about his resilience, determination and talent. And now that he's got there, he wants to make the most of it.
