Pre-Season Planner: Pre-Season Schedule
UPDATED: Rowlands Withdraws from Ireland Squad and having Scan.
QPR Official Site - ROWLY WITHDRAWN
Martin Rowlands have been withdrawn from the Republic of Ireland squad after sustaining an ankle injury in training.
The R's midfield maestro, who was recalled to the squad by new boss Giovanni Trapattoni after a four-year absence, has undergone a routine scan and is on his way back to London from Portugal.
R's Head Physio Paul Hunter told www.qpr.co.uk: "I've spoken to Martin and obviously he is disappointed to be leaving the squad behind at their training camp in Portugal.
"He's had a scan on his ankle and we're awaiting the results from the Irish medical team." Fellow R's team-mate Damien Delaney remains with the squad, as Trapattoni and company prepare for forthcoming internationals against Serbia (Saturday) and Colombia (Thursday 29th May) at Croke Park and Craven Cottage respectively."

Martin Rowlands Injury: Examiner: "...QPR’s Martin Rowlands went down with a heavy knock to the ankle in last night’s session and must now be rated doubtful for tomorrow’s game against Serbia." Examiner
Independent: "The Irish team will train at Croke Park this evening with just one major worry, QPR's Martin Rowlands, who went down with an ankle problem in yesterday's session." Independent
Why Oxford-QPR Cancelled Oxford Mail: "...The pre-season friendly Oxford United had pencilled in against QPR on July 19 has been called off because the Kassam Stadium is needed for another event that day.
United general manager Mick Brown said: "We came back with other dates, but they couldn't rearrange it...." Oxford Mail
UPDATE: NO. Hudson NOT to QPR! Hudson joins Charlton on a free - Announcement
Mark Hudson to QPR?: Strong press speculation (and messageboard rumours) that Crystal Palace defender and Captain, Mark Hudson could be joining QPR
South London Press-Richard Crawley - EXCLUSIVE: Hudson set to quit Eagles
CRYSTAL Palace captain Mark Hudson is set to quit the Eagles - with new QPR boss Iain Dowie leading the chase for his signature.
The former Fulham defender, 26, has rejected two contract offers from the South Londoners and will be free to join another team for nothing at the end of next month.
And Warnock appears to have conceded defeat in trying to keep hold of Hudson, nicknamed Rock, and is already looking for a replacement.
He told the South London Press: "I think Mark has already told people that he’ll not be signing a new contract and he’ll be leaving.
"He’s got one or two offers and money talks - that’s his entitlement being on a Bosman. I imagine it could be Dowie who has offered him the money." South London Press
SPORTING LIFE
Crystal Palace captain Mark Hudson looks set to snub the offer of a new contract at Selhurst Park and could be on his way across London to join QPR.
The 26-year-old centre-half will be a free agent at the end of June and Palace boss Neil Warnock believes ex-Eagles chief Iain Dowie, now in charge at Loftus Road, is leading the chase for his signature.
"I think Mark has already told people that he'll not be signing a new contract and he'll be leaving," Warnock told the South London Press.
"He's got one or two offers and money talks - that's his entitlement being on a Bosman. I imagine it could be Dowie who has offered him the money." Sporting Life

Flashback: 31 Years ago today, Dave Sexton Managed QPR for the last time
May 23rd 1977: QPR's last game of the 1976/1977 season (Season ended late by this season - or any season's standards!). QPR drew that final game 2-2 against Birmingham (Masson and Webb scoring for QPR. QPR's team: - Parkes - Gillard Webb McClintock Hollins - Kelly Leach Masson Thomas - Givens Eastoe - Sub Abbot
Thus ended the 2 1/2 Year Dave Sexton era, in which Sexton basically inherited the Gordon Jago team and first guided to safety; the following season guided QPR to the League Championship (except QPR were 'robbed' at the very end!). And the following season guided the team to the League Cup Semi-Finals and EUFA Cup Quarter-Finals (again robbed!)..
A few weeks later, Dave Sexton was appointed manager of Manchester United (after initially seeming set to coach at Arsenal. And Frank Sibley was QPR's new manager.
Opinions vary among QPR fans whether Sexton was QPR's "Greatest-ever" manager or just one of the top two or three; but he's certainly right up there, along with Alex Stock, Gordon Jago and Terry Venables.
