Veteran Canadian striker Junior Hoilett’s stoppage-time goal earned Swindon a dramatic 1-0 victory over Rovers at Prenton Park meaning new boss Wild has gained just one point from his first three games in charge with Tranmere also unable to score since he took over from sacked Andy Crosby.

The Robins started brightly, with Marko Marosi forced into an early save to deny Will Wright, while Rovers’ Sol Solomon saw his effort kept out by Connor Ripley.

Darren Oldaker went close midway through the first half, his long-range strike drifting just over, before Tranmere threatened before the break through Charlie Whitaker, who fired narrowly wide.

Swindon continued to press after the interval with Oldaker testing Marosi again and further chances falling to Fletcher Holman and Jamie Knight-Lebel.

At the other end, Billy Blacker and Patrick Brough were both kept out brilliantly by Ripley as the home side pushed for a winner.

Just as it seemed the visitors would have to settle for a point, substitute Hoilett struck deep into stoppage time to snatch a crucial win and keep Swindon firmly in the promotion race.

The defeat leaves...
