James Coppinger made his 500th league appearance for the hosts.

But the visitors took the lead on 18 minutes, as Patrick Bauer met Jake Forster-Caskey's corner at the back post.

It looked to be an unhappy afternoon for Rovers, but Matty Blair popped up with a 94th minute equaliser.

Luke McCullough's shot from the edge of the box looped up off a defender and Blair charged in to head Rovers level.

Boss Darren Ferguson said: "Credit to the players - they kept going and it's a good habit to have that we find a way of getting something out of a game, even if it's only a draw.

"Blair has popped up in injury time and we've done that a few times lately.

"It's not a coincidence, it shows a good character within the team to not know when they're beat. "That was pleasing that they kept going until the end."
