MK Dons made a pre-deadline enquiry about Jamie Mackie before signing Jay Emmanuel-Thomas on loan from QPR.
The Championship strugglers asked Rangers about a potential loan deal for Mackie, who recently recovered from a hamstring tear and has not started a league match since the opening day of the season.
QPR were not prepared to part with the 30-year-old but were willing to loan out Emmanuel-Thomas, who was very much out of favour at Loftus Road.
Rangers also agreed loan deal for Leroy Fer with Swansea, who considered signing Sandro before the R’s midfielder’s recent loan move to West Brom.
But a potential move to Crystal Palace for Rob Green did not materialise because the Eagles were unable to offload former QPR keeper Alex McCarthy to Fulham.
