Preston travelled to Scotland to take on Motherwellafter playing at the weekend at Carlisle. Irvine changed things but the outcome was fairly similar with Preston coming away from Scotland with a draw.
Preston went one down to a Murphy goal late on but equalised within a matter of moments. There seems to be a pattern emerging in pre-season as Neil Mellor bagged another goal and without doubt will be vital to Preston's cause this season.
Preston now head south before taking on Crewe in their final warm up game before the season starts a week on Saturday.
