Doncaster Rovers begin the Danny Schofield era with a trip to Crewe Alexandra in League Two this afternoon.

Schofield was confirmed as the new Rovers chief on Thursday after the club dispensed with Gary McSheffrey on Monday.

Doncaster-born Schofield will be joined in the dugout by youth coaches Chad Gribble and Paul Green, with his search for an assistant manager ongoing.

Today’s opponents are one place and four points below Rovers in the table.

A win could take Doncaster back into the play-offs.
