We continue a look back at last season, moving onto March...
A victory over Doncaster Rovers, which saw the Iron complete a first league double over the Yorkshire side since 1991 was sandwiched either side of three consecutive draws. The Easter weekend would also see a former face return, but this time in the dugout as Graham Alexander took the role of manager.WALSALL 0-0 IRON

The Iron performed well and left the Banks's Stadium with a point against high-flying side Walsall.
Tom Hopper went closest for Scunthorpe in the second half when he had an effort cleared off the line as it looked destined for the net. Rico Henry went closest for the hosts, off the bench, but he couldn't find the net as United notched another clean sheet.

A second successive goalless draw against a play-off contender didn't quite tell the full story at Glanford Park.
The Iron were dominant, both in attack and in defence, but couldn't breach the Gills' back line - and when they did, they were thwarted by the assistant referee's flag.
Paddy Madden had United' best chances and also had a goal disallowed for offside, while Stuart Nelson was in inspired form between the sticks for the Kent-based club.

The Iron got back to winning ways with a convincing and comprehensive win over local rivals Doncaster Rovers.
Another clean sheet to add to the tally saw Rovers fail to register a goal in a domestic campaign against Scunthorpe since 1978/79 with Tom Hopper and David Mirfin both scoring from close range.
In doing so, Hopper also netted the 1000th Scunthorpe league goal at Glanford Park.

The Iron came from behind to go 2-1 up but then suffered a stoppage time equaliser in a 2-2 draw against Shrewsbury Town.
Sullay Kaikai put the hosts ahead, with the Crystal Palace loanee netting his second goal against Scunthorpe in the campaign before Kyle Wootton came off the bench to make an impressionable difference, along with Luke Williams. It was the former Middlesbrough player who set up the United graduate to fire home the equaliser with twenty minutes remaining.
Nine minutes later and the Iron were ahead with Madden seizing on a mistake to round the 'keeper and fire home from close range. Three points were seemingly sealed, only for Jean-Louis Akpa-Akpro to net the equaliser in the fifth minute of stoppage time when his cross curled into the net.

Jamal Campbell-Ryce netted moments into his Spireites debut to seal a point as Scunthorpe recorded a second-successive draw.

Campbell-Ryce came off the bench to score with his first touch, firing home in front of the travelling supporters.
