ROVERS' outside chance of a place in the Intertoto Cup was foiled on the final day of the season.
But Birmingham City's efforts to avoid relegation were in vain as, despite twice taking the lead before Fabrice Muamba sealed the win with the fourth and final goal late on, results elsewhere meant they dropped back down to the Championship after just one season in the top flight.
Birmingham took the lead just after the half-hour, when David Murphy ran onto a quickly taken free kick and, after not being closed down, took the opportunity of a speculative shot at goal.
Brad Friedel looked to have it well covered, but took his eyes off the low strike for a second and the ball spooned up out of his hands and over the line.
Morten Gamst Pedersen got Rovers back on level terms four minutes into the second half with a first-time right foot shot from Roque Santa Cruz's square ball, after Jason Roberts' initial effort had been charged down.
Brett Emerton, Santa Cruz and Roberts all had chances to put Rovers in front, but they capitulated after Birmingham had regained the lead in the 74th minute.
Moments after Cameron Jerome had missed a sitter from close range, the Birmingham substitute slotted home after latching onto Sebastian Larsson's ball from the right.
Jerome made it 3-1 with a minute to go from Gary McSheffrey's ball into the box.
Muamba wrapped it up in stoppage time with a free header.

I honestly can't believe it. If nothing else I could say what an embarrasing defeat. After Gamst scored I thought we were back in the game. Even though West ham helped us out we couldn't do it. Our defence was all over the place. Europe dreams have all faded away. I'm in tears. Let's hope we do better next season and get into Europe even though this season was brill. Great management Hughsie and great team play Rovers. Congratulations to Fulham for surviving relegation, and it's a shame Chelsea couldn't win the Premiership. HAVE A GREAT SUMMER EVERY ONE!!!

Why are all these gypsies from burnley getting so xcited? Ok we lost a game 4-1, at the time brum went 2-1 up, reading were winning 3-0, so they were relagated regardless, making it a meaningless fixture. No where near as embaressing as losing 5-1 vs palace. Your poxy club will never be as big as us, so face it. Your making fools of yourself. Now get yourselfs onto google, and start planning your route to get ur caravans 2 swansea next season. Leave the big guns alone, you to us are nothing.

I see there are a lot of jealous Burnley fans on here. They can only dream that their team was pushing for european football. Oh well Rovers did not quite make it but at least we Rovers fans can look forward to playing the elite in English football again next season just imagine if we had to play Swansea, Plymouth and other crap teams in the Chumpionship .This is where the green eyed monster rears its ugly head as Burnley would love to do what Rovers do week in week out. Enjoy next season in the chumpionship you retards. I can't wait to see the likes of Man u, Chelsea, Arsenal ooh are you feeling even greener Dingles. Enjoy your day out to Plymouth.
