Grant McCann refutes suggestions that Doncaster Rovers' trip to Peterborough is a dead rubber
Grant McCann refuses to view Doncaster Rovers' season finale at Peterborough United this weekend as a dead rubber.
From the outside looking in, many may well take that viewpoint given it pits together two teams in 15th and 17th place respectively in League One. Rovers secured their third tier status with three games to spare whilst the Posh only guaranteed their survival on Tuesday night after a dour stalemate with Mansfield.
Despite some suggesting the game has little on it, McCann disagrees as he returns to a club where he both played and managed.
"Even though some might say there's nothing to play for - there is," said the Northern Irishman. "And we've still got a couple of positions that we can climb in the table which actually helps us when we come to the summer recruitment.
"A little goal for us is to try and hit 60 points in our first year back in the division after three or four years out of it. I think that would be a reasonable target for us to try and take care of on Saturday.
"And I think there's something on every game, really. We're professionals and every game means something. It's our job. Saturday is a chance for us to get up to 60 points and an opportunity for some. Everyone has different sort of goals that they want to achieve."
