Preston fans react as Alex Neil battles Rangers for Sheffield Wednesday’s Cameron Dawson

Rangers and Preston North End are both in the hunt to sign Cameron Dawson, .

Dawson is out of contract at the end of the season and could leave Sheffield Wednesday. Despite being a boyhood fan, he is struggling for game time this season.

The 24-year-old has played just under 50 games for the Owls, most of which came when Westwood was frozen out. He saved a penalty in the Steel City derby against Sheffield United and kept a clean sheet, which is the finest moment of his career to date.

Four clubs are reportedly monitoring Dawson’s contract situation ahead of a potential move in January or next summer. Blackburn Rovers and Derby County will provide competition with Rangers and Preston for Dawson.

Alex Neil is leading Preston into a promotion challenge and he wants a new goalkeeper. But he faces a battle with Rangers. Here are some tweets from Preston fans on Dawson.
