Rankine, 36, impressed at Blackpool with an eye catching display from Central Midfield, espessially in the first half. The Rovers number 8 ran up and down the pitch from Box to Box for most of the game and showed that at 36, he still has a reason to be playing football at such a high standard.
Former Rovers 'keeper Joe Murphy, now at Walsall, also made this weekend's team whilst Lee Trundle, League One's leading scorer also got in upfront.
