Rangers and Brighton played out a 0-0 draw at Loftus Road this afternoon with the visitors going the closest to taking the points.Both keepers produced vital saves to ensure their teams picked up an important point. In the first half, the on-loan Simon Royce denied Rangers when Danny Shittu rose to meet Danny Murphy's corner and saw his header pushed away.

In the second half, Royce pulled off another good save when he dived to his left to tip away Doudou's shot at his near post, while at the other end Fraser Digby saved his side by blocking Bobby Zamora's shot with his legs after the Brighton striker had managed to break free of the Rangers defence.

Andy Thomson missed Rangers' best chance of the game when the ball ran kindly for him inside the area and he scuffed his effort straight into the arms of Royce. But it was The Seagulls who came closest to taking all three points. Paul Watson's curling free-kick from the left struck the bar, while Danny Cullip's late header was hacked off the line by substitute Karl Connolly.
