MATCH SUMMARY
Dave Gibson delivers his third goal involvement in two games as Mick Wright proves a defensive hero after clearing off the line before leaving the field injured but despite Villa’s domination they can only draw with Rovers as future Villa winger Ray Graydon scores the equaliser to leave Vic Crowe’s side unbeaten in six but back to second in the table after Fulham’s win earlier in the week.
