1 Joe Garner has scored 57 goals in 148 games for Preston

Preston striker Joe Garner has agreed to join Rangers, talkSPORT understands.

Following defeat to Fulham on Saturday, Lillywhites boss Simon Grayson confirmed Rangers’ interest in the 28-year-old hitman, who moved to Deepdale from Watford three years ago.

The Scottish giants’ bid of around £1.8m has been accepted and the player is keen to move north of the border, with Rangers boss Mark Warburton again exploiting the English market as he looks to bolster his striking options.

Garne, who has scored 57 goals in 148 games for the Lancashire side, is expected to travel to Glasgow on Tuesday for a medical and to complete the formalities on a three-year-deal.
