Harford in the dark over R's future
Harford, who was put in charge until the end of the season after Paul Hart walked out in January, broke his win duck at the seventh attempt with a 2-1 success against Doncaster.[LNB]But despite the resignation of chairman Flavio Briatore last night, Rangers are believed to be on the look-out for a new permanent boss - their seventh in less than two-and-a-half years since the controversial Italian arrived at the club.[LNB]Briatore's replacement Ishan Saksena spoke to the players in the dressing room at Loftus Road before the game and will have the final say on who the new manager will be.[LNB]Crystal Palace's Neil Warnock is rumoured to be top of the list but Rangers will have to wait until after their FA Cup replay at Aston Villa next week.[LNB]When asked if he expects to be in charge against Middlesbrough next weekend, Harford said: "I don't know."[LNB]He added: "The club needs to appoint a football manager. If it's me, great. If it's not me then they need to bring someone in, long-term, back him and give him the opportunity to take the club forward.[LNB]"My remit is just to look after the team. There was no timescale, just look after the team until they appoint a permanent manager.[LNB]"If the results had been better I would have been in a stronger position, make no bones about it.[LNB]"What I'm bothered about is this club. Whatever they decide has to be for the good of this football club."[LNB]Goals from Antonio German and Jay Simpson did at least ensure Rangers began life after Briatore in style.[LNB]Rangers had signed an incredible 47 players since Briatore took charge, so it was heartening to see local lad German given his full debut in attack.[LNB]And the 18-year-old grabbed his big chance with his first professional goal.[LNB]"I thought he was the best player on the pitch," added Harford.[LNB]"He's technically very good and if he continues to improve he's got a good future."[LNB]Rangers' familiar jitters kicked in after the break - they have not kept a clean sheet in 22 games - and Doncaster levelled through James Hayter's close-range strike.[LNB]But Arsenal loanee Simpson popped up to tuck away a fine winner.[LNB]"We were awful, we never got going," said Rovers boss Sean O'Driscoll.[LNB]"Our two centre-halves played like it was only their second game together - which it was.[LNB]"But you have to give some credit to QPR, and the young boy was excellent."[LNB][LNB]
