Rovers battled to a point at the Keepmoat Stadium against Sky Bet League One's early pace-setters Portsmouth, despite late drama which saw Ben Whiteman left to see out the game between the sticks.
Whiteman was forced to go in goal following the dismissal of Marko Marosi, with Rovers having made all three substitutions, but he helped his side see the game out to ensure they would earn a point for their efforts.
