Club Captain Gareth Ainsworth has encouraged his R's team-mates to end the season on a high.

Rangers visit top-six candidates Ipswich Town in the Championship on Saturday afternoon knowing only victory will keep their own feint play-off dreams alive.

And Ainsworth believes a positive finish to the season will pay huge dividends when the new campaign kicks off in August.

"It's essential that we finish the season on the front foot, so we head into the new campaign on a high," he told www.qpr.co.uk.

"It's funny really - every Saturday afternoon, the lads are saying 'what if we'd won there, what if we'd held on in that one.'

"It's such a tight division and any sort of positive run of results can do your league position the power of good, but the target remains to take each game as it comes.

"Our aim is to get three more points on the board at Ipswich on Saturday and we'll see where that takes us."
