Dane puts R's future on hold

Marc Nygaard will put his future on hold as he battles to keep QPR in the Championship.

Marc Nygaard will put his future on hold as he battles to keep Queens Park Rangers in the Championship.

The striker's contract expires at the end of the season and he is trying to prove he merits an extension at Loftus Road.

He scored twice in last Saturday's 3-1 victory at Leicester City - a result which lifted QPR out of the relegation zone.

But, rather than worry about his own future, the 30-year-old revealed his priority is ensuring the club are not relegated.

"At the moment, my mind is set on helping QPR to stay in this division and after that we'll see what's happening," Nygaard told the Kilburn Times.

Injuries have hampered the Dane, who arrived from Vicenza in 2005, but he is now happy to be helping in the club's relegation battle.

He added: "I am happy to get some playing time to show everybody who I am.

"It is nice to get the chance now. I am pleased that things are going the right way at the moment."
