Tony Fernandes took to Twitter to praise QPR’s players and fans after the 3-1 win at Ipswich.

Niko Kranjcar put Rangers ahead before Gary O’Neil and substitute Armand Traore netted their first goals for the club.

And chairman Fernandes tweeted: “Keep the faith. Long way to go. But Portman Road not a great place to go to so to win in that way was great. Kudos to Harry and all players.

Fernandes praised QPR fans.

“And thank you to all the away fans for making the journey. You sounded awesome on the radio. Thanks.”

Chief executive Philip Beard wrote: “Really good performance and result today. Makes the drive back to London feel much quicker.”

Rangers responded well after losing Joey Barton six minutes before half-time.

The midfielder picked up a thigh problem and will be assessed in the next 48 hours.

Barton tweeted: “Great team performance. We knew we had to bounce back after being disappointing last week. Tremendous strength of character shown.

“Ipswich 9 unbeaten before today so we knew it would be a tough test. Delighted for @Gazoneil on opening his account for us.”

He added: “Hopefully my thigh is not as bad tomorrow as it feels now. #Fingerscrossed.”
