QPR’s push for promotion to the Premier League suffered a surprise setback as the Championship leaders were routed 4-1 by struggling Scunthorpe yesterday.
Neil Warnock’s side looked set to take another step towards the top-flight when Rob Hulse’s header put them ahead early on but the hosts made a mockery of their position in the relegation zone as they hit back in spectacular fashion.
Although defeat will delay QPR’s party, it is unlikely to prove a blow as Warnock’s men remain 10 points clear of the third-placed teams.
