 Manager John Lambie signed Cameron for Partick Thistle on the eve of the 1992–93 season, the club's first campaign back in the Premier League; he missed just two games, scoring five times from midfield, as Thistle defied predictions to remain in the top division.He was also part of the sides that stayed up in each of the following two seasons before a dramatic play-off defeat to Dundee United at Tannadice in May 1996 that meant relegation for Thistle.With just 40 seconds remaining it looked as if Cameron's second half penalty would keep his team in the Premier division for another season, but fate decreed otherwise.
