The Iron complete their pre-season friendlies when they travel to Victoria Park to face Hartlepool United on Saturday.
After turning in an impressive display to run out 2-1 winners against Championship side Rotherham United, Graham Alexander will be looking for more of the same when his side face the Pools.Again, there may be changes to the side that beat Rotherham as the Iron look to give maximum game time to multiple players.
Paddy Madden has missed the last two games (calf) and will be assessed ahead of the trip to Victoria Park.
David Mirfin was rested as a precaution in midweek but manager Graham Alexander said he would be back training on Wednesday, while Kevin van Veen came off with a head injury against the Millers but is also set for a return to training.
Sam Mantom is now back running and the Iron are hopeful he'll be fit for the start of the season.
The last time these two sides met in a competitive fixture was in February 2014, when a 0-0 draw was played out at Victoria Park.
Luke Williams, on loan from Middlesbrough, played for Hartlepool that afternoon.

Pools target man Billy Paynter has over 400 senior appearances under his belt, following spells with clubs such as Leeds United and Doncaster Rovers.
Paynter began his career at Port Vale, and after turning in a string of impressive performances, he earned himself a move to Hull City, for a reported fee of £150,000.
Swindon Town would be where he would really make his breakthrough however, finding the back of the net on a consistent basis, as he caught the eye of Yorkshire giants Leeds United.
Since joining Hartlepool, Paynter has been back amongst the goals, scoring 15 in his debut season for the Pools.
