Gillingham’s 0-0 draw with Fleetwood Town means the gap to safety remains at six points with two games to play.
However, Rovers’ vastly inferior goal difference means they are almost certain to be playing League Two football next season.

LIVE: Shrewsbury Town v Doncaster Rovers
34 GOAL SHREWSBURY
That’s just awful from a defensive point of view. Awful.
Rovers are sliced open by a ball over the top and when the cross comes in Bowman powers home the header.
So much time and space for Vela to deliver that cross.
28 CONTROL
Shrewsbury in control here.
They look quicker and stronger in every department at the moment.
Udoh tests Mitchell from the edge of the box.
19 GOAL SHREWSBURY
Rovers are behind in this must-win game...
Udoh latches onto a long ball forward, holds off Olowu and fires home.
Poor from Olowu. He got caught under the ball and it was far too easy for Udoh.
17 OUTLET
Nurse is an outlet for the hosts on the left. He’s getting into some dangerous areas and he has good delivery.
14 BETTER
Better little spell for Rovers who are feeling their way into this game after a slow start.
6 ALMOST
Shrewsbury on the front foot early on.
Although Odubeko almost latched onto a through ball from Galbraith there.
