History of the Gillingham v Rotherham United fixture
Rotherham United face a trip to Gillingham at Priestfield Stadium on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Millers will be hoping to improve upon an awful record which has seen them lose 15 and win only 3 of the 25 games, the last back in 1988.
The most recent encounter between these two sides in Kent was around this time last year, with Gillingham running out comfortable 3-1 winners.
The Millers won the reverse fixture this season 3-0 back in August.
