Tuesday’s 1-0 loss saw Latics finish second behind Bury by just one point, whilst Tranmere finished fourth.
Tranmere Rovers are the visitors to Christopher Park for the Lancashire FA Cup final, with nothing between the sides in earlier meeting during the season, a 0-0 draw at Tranmere in August and a 2-2 home draw in December.

Both Latics and Tranmere entered the competition at the quarter finals, recording comprehensive victories to book their respective semi-final spots.
Latics won 4-1 at Robin Park Arena against Preston North End, with Tranmere sealing a comfortable 3-0 home win against Bury.
The semi-final proved more of a battle, with Sam Cosgrove scoring late on in a 1-0 win against Rochdale, as Tranmere once again kept a clean sheet to win 2-0 at home to Blackpool.
