Tony Thorpe partners Paul Furlong in attack against Nottingham Forest at Loftus Road this afternoon.
The centre forward returned from a loan spell at Rotherham last week and takes his place in the Rangers starting eleven.
Martin Rowlands and Marc Bircham also return after a spell on the sidelines in what is a far stronger and more experienced line-up than of late.

subs: Day, Edghill, Cureton, Bean, Miller
Nottingham Forest: Gerrard, Morgan, Melville, Powell, Evans, Curtis, Commons, Robertson, Gardner, Dobie,Taylor
