Mansfield Town are set to kick off their League One campaign on the road at Doncaster Rovers. Doncaster Rovers steered clear of the relegation zone last season and ended up climbing to a respectable 14th. Such is McCann’s ambition, he was disappointed a late surge towards the play-offs did not materialise.

What happened? Doncaster made their return to competitive football last week, defeating Stockport County on penalties after a 1-1 draw in the first round of the Carabao Cup. Their first league opponents of the season, Mansfield, were beaten 3-0 by Sheffield United.
