QPR boss Ian Holloway has hit out at Rangers counterpart Graeme Murty for his "silly statement" over loanee Sean Goss.
Murty revealed that the midfielder, who has made an impressive start to life in Scotland, was one of his targets for a permanent move in the summer.
Goss was among the goalscorers in Rangers' 4-1 win over St Johnstone on Tuesday, but Holloway appears to have scuppered any thoughts Murty might have had about signing him on a longer-term deal.
"I'd rather talk to Graeme about that myself because he is out of order talking about my player," Holloway told the Daily Record.
"He's my player, nobody else's. It's not right he's talking about trying to buy one of my players when that player is not for sale.
"I'm glad the boy is doing well. We bought him to be a good player - he is a good player - and I'm glad he's getting the experience but he's likely to come back and play for us. It's as simple as that.
"His future is at QPR. I bought him to be a QPR player. I've loaned him out when he's never been loaned out before and I'm delighted he's doing well but he won't be getting sold.
"If Graeme has said he wants him permanently then that's a bit of a silly statement because he is not for sale. You can't buy someone who is not for sale.
"I'd imagine Graeme would speak to me about it at the right time. Graeme should do his job by speaking to me about my player.
"Graeme's a good bloke but I'm pretty surprised he's left himself open to this. I have no issue with him but the boy is not for sale."
