Striker Ian Thomas-Moore, 34, joined from Tranmere on an 18-month deal and makes his debut against another former club, Stockport.

The Millers have slipped to fourth after three straight defeats and manager Moore said: "I don't want to put too much pressure on him – but Ian has got pace, ability, good knowledge and he gets a goal.

"He will probably get a bit of stick – you know what players are like – but he has had that all his life and it's not a problem."

Striker Tom Pope has joined Port Vale on a month's loan.

Last six games: Millers WWDLLL, Stockport LLLDLL.
