Grant McCann said he was proud to watch his side’s performance as they welcomed 2019 in style with a 5-0 win over Rochdale in Sky Bet League One.
It was a very happy new year at the Keepmoat Stadium as Rovers got off to a blistering start with Alfie May finding the net just 40 seconds after kick-off.
Goals from Ali Crawford and John Marquis had the game sewn up by half time, while a second from Marquis and a superb diving header from James Coppinger in the second-half made for a perfect start to 2019 for McCann’s Rovers.
