QPR senior players are keen for interim boss Neil Warnock and his assistant Kevin Blackwell to be considered for permanent posts, according to Sky sources.
QPR are hoping to appoint a permanent successor to Chris Ramsay shortly and we understand the process is nearing a conclusion, with Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink the latest name in the frame, despite the Burton boss insisting there was yet to be an approach from Loftus Road.
Rangers travel to Reading on Thursday night live on Sky Sports and Warnock is believed to be "very likely" to take charge of the team for the trip to the Madejski Stadium with the international break seen as an ideal opportunity for Rangers to make an appointment.
Warnock, who led QPR to the Championship title in 2011, returned to the club as a first team adviser earlier this season and was placed in temporary charge at the start of November when Ramsey lost his job.
And the R's, who were relegated from the Premier League last term, claimed their first win [and goal] in five matches when they defeated Leeds 1-0 at Loftus Road on Saturday.
Warnock said after the match: 'We're looking forward to the Reading game, but I can't tell you what will happen before then.
"I've not been involved in the process, and I'm sure when there's something to tell me the owners will do so. At the moment I'm just trying to get smiles on people's faces.
"The Championship is a unique league, unlike any other league, but I'm sure they'll have taken quite a lot of things into consideration when looking for someone."
