James McClean believes Wrexham’s nine-game unbeaten run in the Championship proves his side can compete with everyone in the division.
McClean was left disappointed as Harrison Armstrong cancelled out Kieffer Moore’s early opener to earn Preston North End a draw with the Red Dragons at Deepdale on Saturday.
Despite surrendering a lead, the draw means Phil Parkinson’s side have lost just one of their past 14 league games.

Jacob Bethell found some form in Australia with 71 before Glamorgan 21-year-old Asa Tribe scored 114 not out for England Lions against Australia A in Brisbane.
Batting with a massive first-innings deficit of 422 after the Australians dominated the first two days, Bethell and Tribe put on 169 for the fourth wicket in a show of some defiance.
