Lomas

Ian Holloway heaped praise on comeback king Steve Lomas, after the Hoops beat Southampton 1-0 at Loftus Road.

Returning to the Rangers line-up after a three month absence due to injury, Lomas was instrumental as Rangers jumped to 11th in the Championship.

"We played really well. I thought we were terrific from start to finish.

"Steve Lomas made a huge difference and we looked a lot more solid with him in the side. He's the voice that the team needs.

"He's a fantastic leader and alongside Richard Langley, the pair of them were absolutely fantastic.

"It was a big result for us and we worked very hard to get it.''

Rangers, who have now registered 10 points from their last four matches, are just five points adrift of the play-off's and with the addition of two new players in the last 24 hours, Ollie is in buoyant mood.

"We had a good balance today and that was key.

"We've got young kids knocking on the door and it's nice to have some genuine, young quality in the squad now.
"All my players worked their socks off today and I'm delighted with the three points.
"We've got a huge list of transfer targets. I'm really grateful to Blackburn for giving me Andy Taylor. He looks quality and the addition of the Polish lad, who can play right back or centre back, is a huge signing.
"He's 21, big, strong and quick and we've beaten a lot of clubs to his signature so I'm delighted.'
