That day saw their relegation confirmed after a miserable season. A low-key 1-1 draw against Oxford United ended a five-year stay in English football's third tier.
Gary McSheffrey's side earned a point when Josh Martin's goal cancelled out Billy Bodin's opener but it couldn't prevent the drop. Thankfully, happier times are here for Rovers with Grant McCann having led them back to League One thanks to a superb 2024-25 title-winning campaign. Anticipation is in the air, with the fixtures for the new season out in just a couple of days' time.
Here though, we look at the line-up from that fateful day at the Kassam - with not one player who featured in that game still at the club.
