Ireland international Jimmy Dunne rescued a point to keep his QPR side in the hunt for the play-offs with a 1-1 draw at Portsmouth.

Terry Devlin had put John Mousinho's side ahead on the stroke of half-time but Rangers deservedly equalised through captain Dunne's header after an improved second-half showing.
