Millers Drawn Away In FA Cup

Rotherham United have been drawn against Queens Park Rangers away for the first time in the next tie of the FA Cup.

Goals from Ben Wiles, Freddie Ladapo and Will Grigg gave Rotherham a three-nil win over Bromley in the first round this season while a Michael Smith effort was the only goal of the game in the second round game against Stockport County.

Being in the Championship the Millers started last season in round three of this competition when they were drawn away at Goodison Park against Premier League side Everton. Cenk Tosun scored for the Toffees on nine minutes with Matt Olosunde equalising in the second half. The tie went to extra time with Abdoulaye Doucoure getting a winner for the hosts three minutes in.

Like the Millers Rangers started last season’s FA Cup competition in round three. And, like the Millers, they didn’t proceed any further after they took Fulham to extra time at Loftus Road with the visitors winning two-nil.

The game will take place on or around the 8th January 2022.
