Hide AdLeague One Oxford and National League Macclesfield played out a goalless draw in Cheshire on Friday, with the replay at the Kassam Stadium next Tuesday.
Oxford have ex-Millers Ryan Taylor, Joe Skarz and Chris Maguire in their ranks and should Macclesfield get through it will rekindle bad memories from 1987 when, also as a non-league outfit, the Silkmen upset Rotherham 4-0 in the second round at Moss Rose.
