QPR manager Chris Ramsey will take his players to a training camp in Dubai this week in an attempt to break their dismal run of form.

Rangers have won just once in their last nine Premier League games and sit one place above the relegation zone on goal difference only.

Ramsey’s side were due to play Tottenham this weekend but Spurs face Chelsea in the Capital One Cup final on Sunday.

"We believe that getting together, going through and planning what we want to do for these last 12 games is going to be very important,” he said.

"The grounds are not very good here at the moment and our training pitch gets flooded despite the efforts of the groundsmen, who have done very well for us this season.

"We think that if we can get away for a bit of different scenery and look at things in a more holistic manner, it will be better for us.

"We want to take them away for a training camp – not a reward – and we'll try to cram in more quality training in a more relaxed situation.”

Rangers’ next league fixture is against Arsenal at Loftus Road on March 4 before Tottenham visit west London three days later.
