Preston manager Alex Neil claims his side must receive a "proper bid" for star man Daniel Johnson.

Rangers have been heavily linked with a move for the 27-year-old who is in the final year of his contract at Deepdale.

Rangers manager Steven Gerrard was vocal at the weekend on the topic of new signings after four Rangers players limped off against Dundee United.

Johnson was left out of the Preston squad for their Championship opener at the weekend.

As reported the Scottish Sun, Neil said: “We have teams showing an interest in our players, which unsettles things. People think players are just robots who can just continue on.

“The sooner we get clarity, so we know where we are and what we’re trying to do, the easier it makes it for everyone.
