Celtic face pressure to sign £2.5m-rated Preston North End ace, Derby County plot shock striker raid

The struggling Owls come into the came fresh off the back of a demoralising 2-0 defeat to recently-promoted Coventry City, and are currently six points from safety as the brutal relegation battle continue at the bottom of the table.

Meanwhile, the January transfer window is heading into its final few days, and Preston boss Alex Neil is more than happy with the club's transfer activity thus far.

He told the Lancashire Post: “I don’t think we have had one as productive as this. I know we have signed players in the past but we probably needed to when we lost players like Jordan Hugill, Callum Robinson and Greg Cunningham."
