IPSWICH left-back Scott Barron admits to having divided loyalties as he prepares to face North End tonight. The 20-year-old makes an emotional return to Deepdale – but this time on the pitch instead of in the stands. Barron was born in Preston and has supported the club all his life.
But that won't stop the highly-rated defender trying to derail the play-off hopes of Billy Davies and his side. "Obviously I want Ipswich to get into the top six and get to the Premiership," he said as he looked forward to his first meeting with his home-town club. "But if it can't be Ipswich, then I hope it is North End going up.".....
......"I have been a lifelong Preston fan," he said. "I have always supported them even though we moved away when I was still young. "I always look for their results and that's not just because they have been play-off rivals with Ipswich for the past couple of years, it's because I am a genuine fan. "I have been to watch them at Deepdale a few times over the years and I have always enjoyed the way they play their football.
"I think Billy Davies has done a fantastic job. I have been very impressed with him.
"I thought North End were going to make it last season in the play-offs, but they just missed out. "Obviously tonight will be a strange feeling for me. "But there is no room for sentiment in football, I will still be going all out to put a dent in their play-off chances.".....
.....His favourite Preston players over the years have been Sean Gregan and David Healy, along with Ricardo Fuller who is now a team-mate at Ipswich.
