Let $ABC$ be an acute-angled triangle with $AC<BC.$ A circle passes through $A$ and $B$ and crosses the segments $AC$ and $BC$ again at $A_1$ and $B_1$ respectively. The circumcircles of $A_1B_1C$ and $ABC$ meet each other at points $P$ and $C.$ The segments $AB_1$ and $A_1B$ intersect at $S.$ Let $Q$ and $R$ be the reflections of $S$ in the lines $CA$ and $CB$ respectively. Prove that the points $P,$ $Q,$ $R,$ and $C$ are concyclic.
