History of the Gillingham v Rotherham United fixture

Gillingham prepare to entertain Rotherham United at Priestfield Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Gills are clearly on top, having won 13 and lost only 3 of the 23 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Priestfield Stadium was two seasons ago, in November 2006, the The Gills carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a League One match.
