IN THE PRESS - JUNE 16
Scunthorpe midfielder Grant McCann has revealed negative press coverage spurred Nigel Adkins' side to play-off glory at Wembley last month. The Iron upset Millwall in the League One play-off final to bounce straight back to the Championship following relegation the previous season - and McCann insists more criticism of the unfashionable club will inspire Scunthorpe to prove their knockers wrong.

Liam Trotter has still to make his mind up about which club he wants to start the new season with. Keane offered the 20-year-old a new contract to stay with his home-town club but the probability of more regular first team football at Scunthorpe United, who have also offered him a three-year deal, is very attractive. Trotter helped the Iron win promotion to the Championship and played at Wembley for them in the play-off final and manager Nigel Adkins is keen to sign the Blues Academy graduate.
