| Former Scotland man Cameron’s time at Dens Park has been blighted by knee trouble, but a loan spell at Arbroath last month has given him needed games.
And, even though a waterlogged pitch at Dens meant plans for him to play again tonight when the Dark Blues were to face Brechin in a closed-door game have had to be scrapped, he is in line to face Livingston on Saturday.
Today, his manager confirmed the sound of Cameron’s voice bellowing across the training pitch in the last week or so has been a sure sign he isn’t far away.
“It would have been good to see how he did tonight, but I have already seen in training that he is looking like his old self,” said Jocky.
“I’ve also been saying recently that we lack players who get in about each other on the park and moan when things are not going as they should. He is definitely one who does that and I’ve been hearing a lot of it during training. That’s a sign he is confident about his fitness.”
A defender and a striker were also set to play tonight, and the game going off makes a decision on whether or not they should be awarded contracts more difficult. One will go away and come back for a friendly against the Scotland Under-21s next week, but that may not be possible for the other.
Midfielder Paul McHale should also be on duty in West Lothian. He missed training yesterday after hurting a hamstring against Clyde on Saturday, but his condition is not causing concern. |
