Marc Bircham will be drilling into the QPR squad the history of the club and may even run quizzes on the Hoops.

Rangers brought back popular manager Ian Holloway after parting company with Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and are keen to put the passion back in to Loftus Road. Ollie brought in Bircham as his assistant.

And Bircham wants the squad to fully understand the history of the club and believes it can reflect on performances on the pitch.

He said: “I'll be telling them about every sort of history with the club. I may do QPR quizzes away from home so they know about it.

“It's showing the fans and players how much it means to us and how much it means to them.”

Bircham also believes that Hasselbaink's Chelsea past was something that counted against him during his time at Loftus Road.

Bircham added: “Jimmy was unlucky but he's ex Chelsea and people who aren't QPR don't realise how big that is. It was always going to come up and that's no disrespect to him but he's ex Chelsea.

“When it goes bad he has less time and that's how ex players work at clubs with their rivals. Fans couldn't connect to the team and that's been a problem in the past.

“There's been no bridge or connection to the team. There are no local players or ex affiliation and then it's on results and if they don't happen, they'll turn quicker. It's a results business.

“We may have a couple more games where the fans are on our side but you need results in this league but hopefully we can do it in a way that the fans can be proud of and the players can be proud of wearing that badge.”
