Warnock hails Taarabt

QPR boss Neil Warnock has been hugely impressed with Adel Taarabt since the Moroccan returned to Loftus Road. Taarabt, who spent last season on loan with Rangers from Tottenham, penned a permanent deal in west London over the summer. Such has been his impact, the skilful 21-year-old was named captain in the absence of the injured Fitz Hall at Sheffield United last weekend. "He's been a cracking lad since his comeback and he's put a lot into his work because he's going to get some kicking," said Warnock. "It shows character if you want the ball, knowing you are going to get kicked."
