TEAM NEWS
Bradley Dack will serve the second game of his two-match ban, having been shown his second red card of the season in the defeat at MK Dons on Saturday.
In his pre-match conference, Gills head coach Ady Pennock confirmed that Zesh Rehman is the only new injury worry ahead of Friday's game. Pennock also said that Chris Herd has been training this week, and the defender could be involved for the visit of Rovers.
Scott Wagstaff (Achilles), Bradley Garmston (hamstring) and Aaron Morris (knee) remain long-term absentees for the home side.
The Gills could climb three places up to seventeenth in the League One table with a win over Rovers.
THE OPPOSITION
Darrell Clarke's team are on a late play-off push having won five of their last seven Sky Bet League One matches.
Rovers sit in eighth place in the League One table with four games remaining; four points behind Millwall, who currently occupy the final play-off spot.
The visitors have some injury doubts for the trip to Kent. Midfielder Ollie Clarke missed the AFC Wimbledon game last weekend and defender Peter Hartley is yet to return to action after being sidelined with a foot injury since January.
LAST TIME WE MET
Josh Wright opened the scoring back in October with a great finish, however Rovers fought back and won the match thanks to late goals from Chris Lines and Ellis Harrison.
The teams have met 103 times in total, with the Gills winning 38, drawing 19 and losing 46.
