Warburton full of Hoop and glory

FORMER Liverpool youngster Yan Dhanda is dreaming of a Reds reunion if he can help Swansea City jump through the blue hoops of QPR today.

The 21-year-old spent five years in the youth ranks at Anfield and still counts Trent Alexanderarnold and Rhian Brewster as his best mates.

BOSS Mark Warburton hopes QPR have turned a corner in the new year.

The on-song Hoops hit off-colour Cardiff for six last time out and are full of confidence going into today’s FA Cup clash with Swansea City. “Hopefully, that result was the first of many,” said Warburton (below). “It’s expensive following your team over the Christmas period, home and away, and we want the fans to enjoy watching us play.

Warburton currently has no fresh injury concerns as his side look to avenge a 3-1 defeat to the Swans at Loftus Road earlier this season.
