DJIBRIL CISSE has warned Liverpool FC he will show them "no mercy" at Loftus Road tomorrow night.
The QPR striker scored 24 goals in 79 appearances for the Reds between 2004 and 2006.
He won the Champions League and the FA Cup during his stay at Anfield but is now focused on helping Mark Hughes' side remain in the Premier League.
"All my trophies I won with Liverpool, it's a special club for me, but for an hour and a half, there is no mercy," Cisse said.
"It's my club to be honest, but when the whistle blows that feeling will disappear."
Cisse, who cost Liverpool FC £14.5million from Auxerre, was shown the door by boss Rafa Benitez in the summer of 2006.
He moved on to Marseille and then had spells with Sunderland, Panathinaikos and Lazio before joining QPR for £4million in January.
"It was difficult to leave Liverpool because it wasn't my decision," Cisse said. "Rafa Benitez told me 'you're not in my plans', so I had to leave.
"I was really sad because I did well in the short time that I played, and I thought I deserved better treatment. But that's the way it was and I have to accept it.
"I don't feel like I have a point to prove to Liverpool because the staff has changed, and a lot of players have changed. If it was the same staff, then I definitely would."
Cisse has scored twice in three games for Rangers and is hungry for more.
"I'm starting to find my way with the team," he added.
"I feel like I can do much better and I feel like I'm built for this league. I have things to prove.
"Now all the games are finals for us, and we have to win. If you want to stay up, you have to win games."
