Rovers were still without injured short term signings El Hadji Diouf and Pascal Chimbonda but defender Adam Lockwood missed out despite being available after serving a three game ban.

New signing Lamine Diatta missed out after a delay in obtaining international clearance. James Chambers, Martin Woods, Rachid Bouhenna, Paul Keegan, Chris Brown, John Oster, and Tommy Spurr are long term absentees.

Marc-Antoine Fortune (50) put the visitors in front, but the lead lasted just 12 minutes before Marlon King equalised.

With two minutes remaining, King again was on hand to net a late winner for Birmingham.
