Chris Ramsey has been given the QPR job until the end of the season.

The 52-year-old had been in caretaker charge of the Premier League strugglers since Harry Redknapp quit as manager earlier this month.

Tim Sherwood, Paul Clement, Steve McClaren and Michael Laudrup were heavily linked with the vacant post at Loftus Road.

However, Ramsey helped the Hoops end their horrendous away run with victory against Sunderland on Tuesday night.

The 2-0 win at the Stadium of Light was enough to haul them out of the relegation zone on goal difference.
