\"LyallLyall Cameron speaking to the BBC<\/p>\n

Lyall Cameron has been slammed for ‘disrespect’ over his comments regarding old club Dundee after his move to Rangers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Russell Martin<\/a> pitched him in from the start in the thumping of Viktoria Plzen last night<\/a> as he rang the changes following his weekend blast at his players for dropping points at Motherwell.<\/p>\n

The midfielder – alongside team-mate – Cyriel Dessers – were namechecked for praise and both started the 3-0 Champions League third qualifying round win with James Tavernier<\/a> and Nico Raskin two of the four bodies to drop out of the XI.<\/p>\n

BBC Sport Scotland shared an interview with Cameron<\/a> where he compared his old and new surroundings. He insisted it was like a different world while also making reference to him being ‘a full-time football player’ – a comment that hasn’t gone down too well.<\/p>\n

Record Sport columnist Tam McManus was quick to react to the footage, branding it ‘pretty disrespectful’.<\/p>\n

He wrote on X: “Second time he has said something like this. Pretty disrespectful to Dundee FC and the coaches who gave him the opportunity and platform to go and play for a bigger club.”<\/p>\n

Speaking to BBC Scotland, Cameron said: “To be honest it’s been a totally different world. The speed of play and intensity and everything is totally different.<\/p>\n

“It’s almost like a different world for me, to be honest. A different job now that I am here. It is a full-time football player. Whereas it is a bit different in Dundee<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“So obviously it took a bit of getting used to and I had a few niggles here and there just because the intensity and demands are so high.<\/p>\n

“Now that my body has got used to that, and I am kind of coping a bit better, I am really enjoying the challenge.”<\/p>\n

\"LyallLyall Cameron and boss Russell Martin<\/p>\n

Fans also took to social media to react to the clip.<\/p>\n

One said: “Really poor comments here, very disrespectful to where he came from.”<\/p>\n

Another posted: “He’s lost a lot of my respect there.”<\/p>\n

A further punter added: “Please get him some media training. He is going to get himself into lots of trouble.”<\/p>\n

On the park, boss Martin was full of praise for the 23-year-old after the opening day draw at Fir Park.<\/p>\n

That was enough to convince him to put him in from the off and he didn’t disappoint his boss or fans.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cLyall was fantastic. His energy helped the team a lot and he did exactly what we asked him to do.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe showed real moments of quality and his willingness to run for the team selflessly was immense.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really pleased with him because we\u2019ve made a lot of signings and he\u2019s probably gone under the radar a little bit.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut he\u2019s desperate to learn and do well. He has a lot of attributes and I\u2019ve been really impressed with him. He\u2019ll help us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Record Sport’s Tam McManus and a host of football fans reacted to the interview from the Ibrox midfielder…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":48941,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,1576,6257,41608,596,41609,8998,9005,9003,85],"class_list":["post-48940","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-bbc","tag-champions-league","tag-dundee-fc","tag-football","tag-lyall-cameron","tag-rangers-fc","tag-russell-martin","tag-scottish-premiership","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48940","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48940"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48940\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48941"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48940"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48940"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48940"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
