Freddie Ladapo, a league scorer against QPR last season

The Millers were paired with QPR in tonight's draw, with the tie due to take place early in the New Year.

The teams met twice in the second tier last season. Rangers won 3-2 at Loftus Road and Rotherham triumphed 3-1 at AESSEAL New York Stadium through a Freddie Ladapo brace and a goal from Michael Smith.

Mark Warburton' side are fifth in the Championship.

The match will be played on the weekend of January 8/9, meaning the league derby trip to Doncaster Rovers will have to be rearranged.
