Queens Park Rangers have appointed Chris Ramsey manager until the end of the season.

The 52 year-old has been placed in temporary charge at Loftus Road following the departure of Harry Redknapp two weeks ago.

QPR chairman Tony Fernandes handed the role to Ramsey after the coach impressed by leading the club to their first away points on the season on Tuesday with a 2-0 win at Sunderland.

The appointment was lauded by QPR midfielder Joey Barton who tweeted "Good news on Ramsey. Very good since he has come in. Got group back on track. Lots for us all to do now to keep club in the league."
