The Millers were held at Kenilworth Road meaning that their fate is in the hands of Derby County and local rivals Sheffield Wednesday, going into the final day.
At kick-off, Rotherham sat three points adrift of Wayne Rooney’s Derby but enjoyed a superior goal-difference, which meant a win could have lifted them out of the relegation zone.
The visitors survived a real scare mid-way through the first-half when poor defending allowed Elijah Adebayo space in the box to get a shot away and rattle the crossbar before before Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s in-swinging corner was pushed onto the post by Jamal Blackman.
Paul Warne’s side also went close in the first-half when Matt Crooks’ lob bounced onto the post before being collected by a relieved Simon Sluga.
In a less frenetic second-half, it was Rotherham who went closest to breaking the deadlock when Ryan Giles’ superb cross was headed just wide of the post by Crooks.
With full-time beckoning, Blackman was called upon to push away Sonny Bradley’s well struck free-kick but neither goalkeeper would be beaten at Kenilworth Road.
Rotherham boss Paul Warne told BBC Radio Sheffield: “If we manage to win [on Saturday] then we give ourselves a chance – there’s all these connotations but we just have to go and win.”
The draw leaves Paul Warne’s side without a win in six and two points from safety going into the final day.
