Queens Park Rangers midfielder Luke Freeman has praised head coach Steve McClaren to The Daily Mail.

Freeman has been on the books of QPR since January 2017 when he joined from Bristol City for a transfer fee reported by Sky Sports to be worth £300,000 and when Ian Holloway was in charge of the London club.

Rangers struggled at the start of the season, but results and performances have improved in recent weeks.

Former Newcastle United and Derby County boss McClaren was appointed as the QPR manager in the summer, and midfielder Freeman has spoken highly of him.

Freeman told The Daily Mail about McClaren: “He’s really good, probably one of the best I’ve been involved with.

“He knows his stuff and the lads would agree. It’s been a tough spell but the results haven’t really shown how it’s been behind closed doors.”

Improvement

QPR are 18th in the Championship table at the moment with seven points from as many matches, just two points above the relegation zone.

Rangers returned to winning ways this past weekend, as they got the better of Bolton Wanderers 2-1 away from home in the Championship.

McClaren’s side will take on Millwall at Loftus Road in the Championship on Wednesday evening and will fancy their chances of picking up all three points from the encounter.
