QPR chiefs want Anton Ferdinand to shake hands with Chelsea captain John Terry before their FA Cup encounter.
The Daily Mail says officials will hold talks this week aimed at encouraging Ferdinand to shake hands with Terry before Saturday's FA Cup tie against Chelsea.
The fourth-round clash is expected to bring together the pair for the first time since QPR won a bad-tempered League game between the sides at Loftus Road on October 23.
It is FA Cup protocol for both sets of players to shake hands before matches and Rangers want to do their utmost to defuse a potentially explosive encounter.Terry is facing a criminal trial next week for allegedly racially abusing Ferdinand during the game.
