The midfielder has impressed since moving to Tannadice on loan, establishing himself as an important part of Goodwin’s side.

Cameron joined Rangers from Dundee in the summer of 2025 but struggled to establish himself as a regular at Ibrox. He spent the second half of last season on loan at Aberdeen before joining Dundee United on another temporary spell.

Cameron remains under contract with Rangers until 2029, meaning his parent club retain control over his long-term future. However, Goodwin has made no secret of his desire to keep the midfielder if an opportunity arises.

“I think we’d be stupid not to explore something like that, if it were to be possible,” he said. “We also need to be realistic. Lyall is on a long-term contract with Rangers, so, ultimately, he is their player, and I’m sure Derek McInnes is watching the way he is performing with interest.

“I’m sure there would also be a whole host of clubs interested if Lyall were to become available. However, I think we’ve potentially put ourselves in a good position.

“He is loving being at Dundee United; he feels at home here and knows exactly what we think of him. He’s already a very important player for us.

“If the opportunity was there, I’m sure we’d look to make him a good offer. But, as I say, he’s a Rangers player and it’s far too early to say what might happen.

“The main thing is that Lyall is enjoying his football and continues to do well; we’ll enjoy him while he’s here.”
