Confirmed QPR team news vs Bolton Wanderers - Rangel returns as McClaren makes five changes

QPR have made five changes for the visit of Bolton Wanderers as they aim to pull away from the relegation zone.

Angel Rangel, who has been out of action since December, returns to the starting XI after picking up match practice in a friendly against Southampton during the international break.

Tomer Hemed and Josh Scowen return after scoring from the bench in the 2-2 draw at Hull, while Bright Osayi-Samuel and Grant Hall are also in from the start, but Geoff Cameron misses out through illness.

What Steve McClaren had to say about the return to fitness of Angel Rangel and Geoff Cameron  

QPR beat Bolton 2-1 at the University of Bolton Stadium back in September, with Luke Freeman and Ebere Eze putting the Rs into a two-goal lead before Josh Magennis pulled one back.

Bolton sit 23rd in the table, eight points from safety with eight games remaining, and have lost their last three away games.

QPR won the corresponding fixture 2-0 last season, with second-half headers from Joel Lynch and Matt Smith ending the resistance of 10-man Bolton. Smith is back on the QPR bench after recovering from the injury which has kept him out of the last few games.

QPR team to face Bolton Wanderers: Lumley, Rangel, Hall, Lynch, Bidwell, Wszolek, Luongo, Scowen, Freeman, Osayi-Samuel, Hemed

Subs: Ingram, Furlong, Leistner, Cousins, Eze, Smith, Wells

Nahki Wells opens up on his Burnley future - and the chances of him joining QPR permanently
