QPR midfielder George Kulcsar lines up against his former City team-mates tomorrow determined to put a huge dent in their bid for automatic promotion.

The 31-year-old would dearly love to see the Bantams earn a place in the Premiership, but tomorrow he knows that only victory will do for his current side as they battle to avoid relegation.

Rangers are just four points clear of the bottom three and Kulcsar believes that one more victory will ensure safety.

The Budapest-born former Bantam said: "Paul Jewell has done very well because I must admit I was surprised when he got the job after the summer. Having said that, I am not at all surprised as to how well he has done.

"Jagger had a good education at Liverpool. And when I was there he had always had some good ideas and now he is boss he can put them into practice.

"Maybe he didn't get that chance when just assistant but that is only natural because Chris Kamara was in charge.

"I really enjoyed my time at Bradford and would like to see them go up. Second place looks a bit difficult now but they will have nothing to fear in the play-offs.

"When I arrived at Bradford it was very different to life in Belgian football. I was in the team but then had a bit of a fall out and was out of the team for a while. Then when we started last season really well, I did not get in until the side lost 4-1 at Charlton. After that I was back in and I really enjoyed it.

"It was a good time for me and my wife. We lived in Bingley so when we came down here after my transfer, it took a while to adjust.

"We both enjoyed living in Yorkshire. My wife felt the people weren't as friendly in London but we have now settled in. I have a year left on my contract with an option for an extension so will have to see what happens."

Kulcsar joined Rangers in a £225,000 deal in December 1997 after a string of displays which impressed then manager Ray Harford.

However the R's fortunes dipped and they finished just one point above relegated Manchester City despite former Leeds man Vinnie Jones becoming assistant boss and defender Neil Ruddock joining on loan. Unfortunately for Kulcsar, Rangers have endured another season of struggle.

He said: "When Ray Harford left early in the season, Iain Dowie took charge on a caretaker basis for about three games and I didn't figure in any of them.

"Gerry Francis saw a couple of those games but obviously with me not playing, he knew nothing about me. In football, injuries and suspensions play their part and I have played for the last few games - which has been my first real run of the season."
