Mason misses out entirely of the matchday 18 with Shaun Cummings replacing him at right back for his first league start for Rovers.

That is one of four changes made by Grant McCann to the side that won at Charlton Athletic last weekend in the FA Cup with James Coppinger recalled after sitting out the tie.
