Steve Evans heading to New York Stadium as Rotherham United land FA Cup home draw
The tie is scheduled to be played on Saturday December 5 but may be moved for live television coverage.
A familiar face is set to be in the opposition dugout when Rotherham United next do battle in the FA Cup.
The Millers' reward for their 2-0 triumph at Bromley on Saturday is a home draw in the second round against Bristol Rovers.
Rovers are managed by Steve Evans who has had two spells in charge at Rotherham in the past and led them to back-to-back promotions from League Two to the Championship more than a decade ago.
The tie is scheduled to be played on Saturday December 5 but may be moved for live television coverage.
Evans' side won 2-0 at the Memorial Ground on Friday night against Cambridge United to book their place in round two.
The clash at AESSEAL New York Stadium pits two teams from League Two against each other. The Millers are in 22nd spot while Rovers are five spots and four points higher.
The clubs met in the fourth tier in the south west in September and there were controversial scenes when Rotherham boss Alex Bruce and Rovers number two Paul Raynor were sent off late on in a 1-0 victory for the home outfit after a touchline altercation.
Evans' second stint in the Millers hot-seat lasted less than a year and he was sacked in March 2025 after a 4-0 New York League One loss against Crawley Town.
He took the Bristol job last season and sparked a revival that kept Rovers up after they had been in danger of relegation.
