Half-time: Reading 0 QPR 0
Michael Hector went closest to opening the scoring during the first half at the Madejski Stadium.
Defender Hector, loaned back to Reading after being signed by Chelsea in September, headed narrowly wide after being found unmarked by Ollie Norwood’s superbly-delivered free-kick.
Both sides struggled to create chances, although Junior Hoilett had an effort saved by Royals goalkeeper Ali Al-Habsi.
Moments later, Reading’s Nick Blackman dragged a right-footed shot wide of the far post.
Rangers again started without a recognised striker in the absence of Charlie Austin, who is on the substitutes’ bench.
Fer returned to the starting line-up following a suspension.
QPR: Green, Perch, Onuoha, Hall, Konchesky, Petrasso, Sandro, Faurlin, Phillips, Hoilett, Fer.
Subs: Smithies, Angella, Chery, Henry, Luongo, Tozser, Austin.
