Q.P.R. travel to take on Newcastle United at St. James' Park on Wednesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Rangers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The last time the two teams met at Newcastle Utd. was more than a decade ago, in April 1996, the Magpies carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a Premiership match.
