Omar Daley was sent off as a chilly Yorkshire derby finished all square at Millmoor.

The Jamaican was one of four changes from the Mansfield Town defeat and had hoped to impress Stuart McCall before jetting off for an international friendly against Trinidad & Tobago.

But instead he left under a cloud after a 70th-minute red card following a confrontation with Rotherham defender Graham Coughlan.

Barry Conlon should have given City the lead in the first half but they went in front within two minutes of the re-start with Joe Colbeck's fourth goal of the season. The winger slipped the ball inside to Tom Penford and then raced on to his flighted return to drill home off the inside of the far post.

And they should have gone 2-0 up after 62 minutes. But Kyle Nix somehow managed to stab the ball straight at keeper Andy Warrington from three yards out with the goal at his mercy.

Rotherham seized on that let-off and were level soon after. Marc Joseph's free-kick caught the wind and beat everybody except striker Chris O'Grady who stretched behind Mark Bower to stab the ball in from close range.

The home side, playing their first game since being docked ten points for going into administration, tried to make their extra man advantage count in the closing stages. Mark Hudson went close with a volley in stoppage time but City hung on to protect their point.
