Rovers welcome Lincoln City to The Mem for our latest test in Sky Bet League One.
The Gas head into Saturday's clash off the back of a 2-0 defeat on the road against Ipswich Town. In the game at Portman Road, Rovers were shown two red cards for Bobby Thomas and Alfie Kilgour, with the latter's being rescinded following a review from the FA.
