Peter Ramage has urged his Queens Park Rangers team-mates to draw inspiration from Cardiff's FA Cup heroics and fly the flag for the Championship in this season's competition.

Rangers face Burnley in tonight's FA Cup third round replay at Turf Moor after playing out a goalless draw ten days ago.

And although Paulo Sousa's side are under pressure to deliver Premier League football for illustrious owners Flavio Briatore, Lakshmi Mittal and Bernie Ecclestone, Ramage insists a Cup run is still a high priority at Loftus Road.

"We have seen what Cardiff did last season by getting to the Final and everybody talks about them representing the Championship but we want to do that this year," said the former Newcastle defender. "We are not going to look at the game thinking about promotion or the fact we have Derby on Saturday - a Cup run wouldn't distract us at all."

Sousa has won only three of his 11 games in charge but Ramage insists the manager is leaving nothing to chance in his attempts to fulfil the club's ambitions.

"He is very methodical in his work," said the 25-year-old. "Every last detail has been researched."
