Rio Ferdinand is set to miss the chance to come face to face with John Terry when QPR host Chelsea on Sunday.
The pair have not met in a competitive fixture since Ferdinand branded Terry the biggest idiot in his autobiography, published in October last year.
Ferdinand s comments came in response to Terry s conduct in the aftermath of allegations the Chelsea captain racially abused brother Anton Ferdinand then of QPR during a top-flight clash in October 2011.
Terry was eventually cleared of any offence by a magistrates court, but was served with a four-game ban and a £220,000 fine by the Football Association.
Ferdinand is likely to miss this weekend s west London derby with a niggling injury, but QPR boss Chris Ramsey expects Terry to receive a frosty reception at Loftus Road.
Fans are fans and that s a subject that brings up a lot of different emotions, he said. It would be odd to think that there isn t going to be extra feelings towards that situation.
The whole episode for British society sat uncomfortably. It s not something that we really want to highlight in football, but it s something that happened and has been dealt with.
We have to move on and hopefully everyone has learnt something from it.
Asked whether he would shake Terry s hand at full time, Ramsey added: John Terry is a player of Chelsea and I am the manager of QPR. As a man and as a person I would shake his hand.
I don t know what his feelings are towards me, but as long as there wasn t something on the field that was unprofessional by him, I would shake his hand.
