Dundee secures safety with Lyall Cameron scoring twice to defeat St Johnstone.

Dundee ensured their place in the William Hill Premiership for next season with a 2-0 victory over relegated St Johnstone, led by Lyall Cameron's two goals in his final match.

Despite having signed a pre-contract with Rangers, Cameron showed full commitment to Dundee with a stellar performance that helped his team secure a well-deserved win and move away from the relegation play-off spot.

The young midfielder displayed creativity, determination, and precision throughout the game, standing out as the key player on the pitch.

St Johnstone, ending a 16-year run in the top flight, struggled to pose any threat until the closing moments of the match, ultimately finishing at the bottom of the table.

Ross County's inability to defeat Motherwell meant Dundee would have avoided relegation regardless, but the team's victory against St Johnstone sealed their safety in the league.

With Dundee controlling the game against their Tayside rivals, the result was never in doubt as they comfortably secured their place in the top division for the next season.

Despite a bright start from St Johnstone, Dundee quickly took control of the game and created numerous scoring opportunities, with Cameron's goal in the 28th minute setting the tone for the match.

The visiting team continued to dominate in the second half, with chances from Scott Tiffoney and Simon Murray threatening to extend their lead further.

Although St Johnstone fought hard, they struggled to make an impact on the game, only coming close to scoring late in the match through debutant Callan Hamill.

Cameron capped off his Dundee career in style with a penalty kick in stoppage time, ensuring a memorable end to his time with the club.
