The Nigerian was locked out of Loftus Road last night after driving to London from the West Midlands in a desperate attempt to secure a move to the R's but was forced to travel back down the M6 after Rangers made it clear they did not want to sign him.
Odemwingie defied the Baggies by traveling to West London and it is understood the Hoops refused to enter talks with the 31-year-old out of respect for the side.
A statement on the club's official website read: "The club were extremely disappointed to witness TV footage of Odemwingie arriving at Loftus Road on Thursday evening despite further talks between the two Barclays Premier League sides proving fruitless.
"Odemwingie was also never given permission to speak to QPR about a potential move," it said.
West Brom chairman Jeremy Peace added: "Peter has acted wholly unprofessionally. He must now accept the fact he remains under contract for a further 18 months and has to focus on his Albion commitments."
