JAMIE Mackie insists he has proved he's good enough to be in QPR's 25-man Premier League squad.

The former Plymouth Argyle forward was a surprise inclusion in the list earlier this season while he was still on the sidelines recovering from a double leg break.

However, the Scotland international has forced his way into the Rangers first-team after returning to full fitness.

Boss Neil Warnock plans to add as many as SIX new signings in January, but Mackie is confident of making the cut when the new squad list is submitted in the new year.

He said: “I would like to think I've justified my inclusion now. I spoke to the manager at the time and told him I was thankful for putting me in, but he knows what he's going to get from me.

“I'm not going to let him down and I think my performances in the past few weeks have shown people I can cope with playing in this league.

“It's up to the manager if he wants to put me in the 25. He put me in there last time so I see no reason why not. I love playing for this football club and if he doesn't put me in I'll address it then.

“I want to play every game - I'm not just happy being here making up the numbers. I've worked really hard to get to this level and feel I deserve the chance to show people I can play in the Premier League.”
