Micky Mellon’s Tranmere had not won for 10 matches before Boxing Day and had failed to score in their last three, but wrapped up a comfortable win with 77 minutes on the clock thanks to goals from Kane Hemmings, Kieron Morris and Paul Lewis.
Doncaster’s performance saw them subjected to derogatory chants from the home fans and boos from their own supporters.
Danny Schofield’s side could have moved back into the League Two play-off places with a win.
Instead they slipped further away from the top seven and looked a million miles from achieving their ambition of promotion this season.
