The Iron will be looking to bounce back with a win on Saturday against Bradford City in the last home game of the season at Glanford Park (3pm kick-off).
Caretaker manager Andy Dawson's side drew 0-0 with Blackpool at Glanford Park on Good Friday, but a 4-0 defeat to Charlton Athletic at the Valley on Easter Monday means we're now 22nd in the League One table and need points to climb out of the relegation zone with two games remaining.
Meanwhile, Bradford's fate in the division has already been confirmed, as they were relegated following a 2-0 defeat to Coventry City on Friday, meaning they will be playing in League Two next season.
However, they will be hoping to end this campaign on a high, as they look to build momentum going into the 2019-20 season. They drew 1-1 with Gillingham at Valley Parade on Monday.
TEAM NEWS...
Left-back Tom Pearce has recovered from the hip flexor injury picked up against Blackpool last week.
Right-back Tony McMahon will continue to miss out with a hamstring injury picked up at Shrewsbury three weeks ago.
Jordan Clarke (knee) is back on the training pitch but won't return to action until pre-season.
Elsewhere, Ryan Colclough (knee) is out for the remainder of the season. Rory Watson (arm) is back on the training pitch too but is working towards a return at the start of pre-season in his recovery.
PAST MEETINGS...
The Iron have a relatively good record against the Bantams of late, and have only lost once in the last five matches against them.
That only defeat came in the reverse fixture at Valley Parade back in December, as Bradford won 2-0. Jack Payne and Eoin Doyle were the scorers for the Bantams that day, but the Iron will be hoping they can stop them from doing the league double on Saturday.
The last match at Glanford Park ended all square, in a 1-1 draw in May 2018. The Iron came back from a goal behind to snatch a point, as Matt Kilgallon briefly put Bradford ahead in 56th minute, before Conor Townsend leveled the scoreline just three minutes later.

ONE TO WATCH...
Despite it being a tough campaign for the Bantams, on-loan attacking midfielder Jack Payne has been in good form throughout the season and has definitely been a bright spark in Gary Bowyer's side.
The Huddersfield loanee has scored nine goals and assisted a further five in all competitions, and he will be looking to end the campaign strongly before heading back to the Terriers.
Payne started his career with fellow League One side Southend United in 2013, after rising through the ranks in the academy at Roots Hall.
He made his professional debut for the Shrimpers in a 1-0 defeat against Yeovil that year and after an impresssive debut season, he was later voted Southend's player of the season in 2015/16.
His performances here then caught the attention of Huddersfield, who signed the midfielder on a three-year deal in the summer of 2016. He has played 23 times for the Terriers so far, but has been loaned out on three separate spells, including one this season at West Yorkshire rivals Bradford.
