Steve McClaren will not reveal who QPR’s captain will be until he names his line-up for today’s Championship game at Preston.
The match will be McClaren’s first since he took over from Ian Holloway as Rangers manager – and someone else will be taking the armband now that Nedum Onouha has left.[phone]

But McClaren has been keeping his cards close to his chest ahead of the Deepdale clash.
“I’ve got a few conversations with different players,” McClaren told QPR’s website.
“The captain is just a figure. For me what is important is that we have a good senior group.
“It’s not about one person, it is about the team. I do like a group of five or six captains in a dressing room and I think we have that. They have experience, picking one out of that five or six is very difficult.
“We’ve swapped it about in pre-season, we played two German teams so I gave Toni (Leistner) the armband.
“That’s all it is though – an armband – leadership is about more than an armband, it’s about being in the dressing room and being a leader and vocal, then taking that onto the pitch and epitomising what we are about for 90+ minutes.”
