Rovers square up against Scunthorpe United next in the Sky Bet League Two. Below is all the pre-match info ahead of our Tuesday night clash!
The Gas go into the game against Keith Hill's side after taking a point out of our previous fixture against Swindon Town. Rovers are unbeaten in three Sky Bet League Two fixtures after Saturday's draw and will be looking to extend that run to four games in tomorrow's clash against the Iron.
Opposition View
Iron Manager, Keith Hill says he is looking forward to the visit of Rovers tomorrow evening;
"It's one I'm really looking forward to, even though we've got a depleted squad going into it. It creates an opportunity for us as a football club and for the players to test ourselves over 90 minutes.
"Those are the challenges and they need to be met by the group of players, myself and all the staff.
"It's amazing what happens when you get that little bit of confidence and self-belief, but you've got to fight for it and we really have to fight and dig deep, but to do that we need a little bit of luck as well."
