The Turkish striker scored a goal in each half, while Morten Gamst Pedersen added a third.

However, it was the hosts who went ahead in the seventh minute when keeper Paul Robinson parried Kalen Spillane's initial strike and Andy O'Connell clipped home the rebound.

Kazim-Richards, who volleyed the equaliser from Bradley Orr's assist in the 18th minute, fired Rovers ahead on 51 when he converted Fabio Nunes's cross from close range.

And Pedersen completed the scoring after an hour with a well executed 25 yard free-kick.
