Harry Redknapp has admitted that he is "desperate" for a return to the Premier League with Queens Park Rangers.

The Hoops take on Wigan Athletic on Friday night in the first leg of their playoff semi-final, having missed out on an automatic promotion spot.

"There's nothing like the Premier League," Redknapp is quoted as saying by The Mirror. "I miss not going to Old Trafford and Liverpool and places like that.

"That's what you dream of and look forward to doing. I'm desperate to get back up there and get promoted."

QPR ended the season in fourth place, while Wigan finished seven points further adrift in fifth place.
