Half-time: Derby 0 QPR 0 – Rangers defending well so far
QPR defended well as both sides struggled to create clear-cut chances during the first half at the iPro Stadium.
The fit-again Charlie Austin, back in the Rangers starting line-up, sent an effort over the bar, as did Daniel Tozser and Yun Suk-Young.
At the other end, James Perch produced a last-ditch challenge to deny Johnny Russell, and Jacob Butterfield fired over before keeper Rob Green was able to comfortably gather mis-hit shot from Andreas Weimann.
Chris Martin had a decent opportunity for the Rams shortly before half-time but his glancing header from Russell’s cross drifted wide.
Rangers boss Chris Ramsey opted to pack the midfield, restoring lone striker Austin, Perch and Alejandro Faurlin to his starting line-up and bringing in Yun in a wide-left role – the South Korean’s first appearance of the season.
Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, Tjaronn Chery and Massimo Luongo are absent for Rangers, who are without the injured Clint Hill.
Subs: Smithies, Angella, Fer, Hoilett, Doughty, Polter, Blackwood.
