Parma axe QPR friendly
PARMA have pulled the plug on their pre-season friendly with QPR – leaving the R's in a desperate search for a top-class replacement.
Rangers were due to host the Italian side at Loftus Road on August 6 – just seven days before the start of the new season.
So far, QPR have arranged friendlies with non-league trio Harrow Borough, Tavistock and Bodmin Town, with the most high-profile being trips to League Two Plymouth Argyle and Crawley.
To make matters worse for boss Neil Warnock, any chance of facing a Championship opponent instead has been dashed as their campaign gets underway a week earlier.
That leaves the hoops desperately trying to line up another foreign side in a bid to get a proper run-out ahead of their Premier League return.
