QPR OFFICIAL SITE - CLEARANCE
Sampsa Timoska has received his international clearance and is therefore available for the trip to the KC Stadium on Saturday.
The Finnish international put pen to paper on an 18 month contract with the R's last Wednesday and in doing so, became John Gregory's first signing of the January transfer window.
Gregory told www.qpr.co.uk: "Sami has settled in well and I'm looking forward to getting him involved in the next few weeks.
"The biggest thing that he's struggled with is adapting to the pace of the English game, both in training and in the matches he's featured in.
"That's to be expected though - it always takes time to adjust when you move to a new country.''QPR

QPR Official Site - John Gregory "IT'S MASSIVE'
".... Speaking exclusively to www.qpr.co.uk, Gregory gave his thoughts on the 'massive' tie with Hull City this weekend.
"It's a huge game for us - massive for the football club.
"Over the next month we play the four teams directly below us in the table and as much as Barnsley was a six-pointer just before Christmas, this is just the same.
"We got a positive result that day and we'll head to Hull confident of getting a similar result on Saturday.
"It's imperative that we come back from the long journey up North with at least a point.''
Whilst admitting he would be happy to return to W12 with a point, Gregory admits his side will go all out for a maximum return against Phil Brown's improving side.
"Make no mistake, we'll go there looking for the three points,'' said Gregory.
"I like my sides to be offensive and to take the game to the opposition, whoever it may be.
"Hull have picked up since the arrival of Phil Brown, but we'll head there confident of returning with three points.''
Gregory continued: "I'm heartened by the way we've began the New Year.
"We're slowly starting to get our first team squad back together and hopefully we'll be in a position to welcome Gaz and Rowly back into the fray over the next fortnight or so.
"We're slowly sifting out the weak from the strong and I'm happy where we're going in terms of the transfer market.''

QPR OFFICIAL - Gregory PART II

POTENTIAL PARTNERSHIPS
John Gregory is in buoyant mood ahead of the 'six-pointer' with fellow strugglers Hull City on Saturday.
Speaking exclusively to www.qpr.co.uk, Gregory spoke openly about key members of his squad and the impression they've made in the last few weeks.
"(Damion) Stewart and (Michael) Mancienne have been excellent at the back for us. They compliment each other superbly.
"Pat (Kanyuka) has come back in and done very well. He's got a couple of games under his belt since the turn of the year and he's looked very comfortable at right back.
"Ray's (Jones) beginning to find his feet again after all the speculation surrounding his future and I'm expecting him to be back to his best in the next few weeks.
"He's a very important member of this squad and now all the talk has ended, he can relax and get back to what he does best - playing football for QPR.''
Gregory is adamant Jones and fellow striker Dexter Blackstock can fire the R's to safety, commenting: "They compliment each other very well.
"I certainly wouldn't enjoy playing against them and the partnership has got a hell of a lot of potential.''
The Rangers gaffer also gave us the latest team news ahead of the trip to the KC Stadium.
"(Marc) Nygaard could be involved this weekend - he'll be in the squad that travels up to Hull on Friday.
"We're hoping Sampsa's (Timoska) international clearance will come through and if that's the case, he'll certainly be involved too.
"Rowly and Gaz are a couple of weeks away though and that gives us a problem or two. We've tried one or two things with regards to the right hand side of midfield and we'll have to keep searching for the right formula until those guys are fit.''QPRUPDATE
