Preston North End are currently in competition with Sheffield Wednesday for a place in the Championship play offs.
Aiden McGeady has pilled the pressure on Sheffield Wednesday, with his comments in the Lancashire Evening Post.
Preston North End still have outside hopes of catching Wednesday in the Championship table, and taking their play off spot.
The Lilywhites have been in good form recently, to give themselves a slight chance of claiming a top six place.
And McGeady insists that Preston go into the final few fixtures of the season with no pressure on them, which is a very different situation to the one that is faced at his former club, Wednesday.
“There is not any pressure on us, the only pressure was to get out of the bottom three when I first arrived – we were down there,” McGeady said.
“We have been playing well, beating big teams in the league who were expected to be right up there at the top.
“We have quietly gone about our business and have slowly crept up the league, we are not far away now.
“The pressure is on the teams who have spent a lot of money like Sheffield Wednesday for example. They have spent an awful lot of money.”
McGeady has been in brilliant form for Preston this season, but he struggled when on loan at Wednesday last term.
The Republic of Ireland international was unable to find his best form at Hillsborough, when he scored just once in 13 appearances for the Owls.
Wednesday currently have a five point advantage over Preston, but Carlos Carvalhal’s side’s form has been poor of late.
The Owls are next in action after the international break, when they take on Barnsley, while Preston face Nottingham Forest.
