Team News: Scott McDonald returns for Queens Park Rangers clash

McDonald returns for QPR test

Millwall manager Steve Lomas has named striker Scott McDonald in the starting lineup for the visit of Queens Park Rangers in the Championship this afternoon.

The 30-year-old has been sidelined with a knee injury since firing the club to a 0-1 victory over Charlton Athletic last month, but has shaken off the knock in time for the clash with Harry Redknapp's men.

Lomas, who faces Redknapp for the first time as manager having spent four years playing under him at West Ham United, has named three other changes from the 5-2 defeat to Bournemouth a fortnight ago.

Shaun Derry - on loan from the West London outfit - is ineligible for the visit of his parent club, as Josh Bailey deputises for the veteran midfielder, while there also starting berths for defenders Paul Connolly, Danny Shittu.

Meanwhile, Redknapp has named two changes from the side which beat Barnsley 2-0 last time out.

Karl Henry comes in for youngster Tom Carroll, who has returned to parent club Tottenham Hotspur for treatment on an ankle injury, while David Hoilett displaces Alejandro Faurlin.

Millwall: Forde; Connolly, Robinson, Shittu, Malone; Abdou, Bailey; Waghorn, Trotter, Woolford; McDonald

Queens Park Rangers: Green; Simpson, Dunne, Hill, Assou-Ekotto; Henry, Hoilett, O'Neil, Barton; Kranjcar; Austin
