A Luke McCormick double saw Rovers fall to defeat on the road in Bristol.
The visitors got off to a great start with a more direct style of play bearing early fruit when James Coppinger curled one beyond Anssi Jaakkola on the 13th minute, but while the goal changed the momentum of the game, it was the home side who began to perform better and McCormick had the Gas level by half time.
Rovers began the second half well and had the ball in the net within minutes of the restart but it was ruled out for offside and Bristol took the lead just ten minute later when McCormick was given space to shoot from the edge of the box. Jason Lokilo saw an effort cleared off the line but Rovers weren’t able to find a way through.
