Veteran midfielder Jack Colback climbed to the bench to light the QPR in a 2-1 win over Blackburn.
The 35-year-old dumped his first goal in just over a year as Rangers turned into a winning way after two right losses.
Michael Frey had inserted Rangers before just five minutes, but Rovers thought they had secured a point through Tyrhys Dolan’s second penalty.
However, Colback’s Thunderbolt set a Blackburn’s play-off offer, though they remain fifth, while the Rangers are now only three adrift points of the sixth money.
The hosts took the lead when Kenneth Paal gained a free kick in the corner.
Ilia’s chairman shook on the cross that Frey met with a past head visiting ‘Peansley Dears for his seventh goal of the season.
Rovers almost equalized four minutes later when Ryan Hedges and Andreas Weimann were combined to Tee Owen Beck, who overthrew his blow against the ribbon.
Makhtar Gueye took the loose ball and passed down to Dollan, whose car was stuck from the upper corner by Rangers goalkeeper Paul Nardi.
The mayor had two chances to double the superiority half of the time, first sitting Danny Batth in his back before drilling into a low kick that slipped wide inch, and then forcing a block other than the pear.
Instead, visitors were given a six -minute draw in the second half.
The Rangers failed to clear a low ball in the area and the clumsy challenge of Koki Saito in Callum Brittain gave Ref James Linington Choice Little, but to give a penalty.
Without any specified penalty holders on the field for Rovers, there were some discussions on who should take it, but Dollan finally won the argument and returned with confidence.
The Rangers thought they should have a penalty when Captain Jimmy Dunne – back to the side after a day’s move to Sheffield United fell through – was rejected by Batth, but Linington disagreed.
However, Rangers won it with 14 minutes left when the ball fell to Colback after a chaotic clash in the penalty area.
The former Sunderland and Newcastle midfielder pulled the foot from 18 yards and, although the pears took both hands on it, the ball pulled to the roof of the net to provide three points for hoops.
