Ben Toner will be the man in charge when Rovers face Manchester City U21s in the Papa John’s Trophy on Tuesday evening.
The Lancashire-based official has overseen many Rovers matches since his promotion to the National List of Referees in 2015 with the most recent occasion a 3-0 away defeat to Oxford United in Sky Bet League One.
Toner has refereed seven matches so far this season handing out 13 yellow cards and one red. He has also over seen some big score lines including three 4-0s.
