FORMER Brentford boss Martin Allen has joined QPR's scouting network.
The 44-year-old, who played 136 times for Rangers in the late 80s, parted company with latest club Cheltenham Town last month.
He left under something of a cloud, having been placed on gardening leave prior to his exit following a police investigation into alleged abuse of a nightclub bouncer. The case was dropped.
Paul Hart says he is glad to have a helping hand in the hunt for fresh talent.
"We are starting to have a look at the scouting system, but over Christmas, it's been very hard to deal with everything," said the new Rangers boss.
"The scouting side of things has been difficult and we are just trying to address that now.
"Martin's free and is going to start having a look around for us on a part-time basis. I know him and know what he does."
It's excellent news because it's an admittance that there are things that needs addressing at the club.
Allen has been involved around the lower leagues for quite some time now and Hart is aware of youth players across the country so we "should" be able to recruit some upcoming youngsters just like Wolves and Peterborough have done.
