The Iron are back in league action on Saturday when they travel to Gigg Lane to face Bury (kick-off 3.00pm).
United won their midweek Checkatrade Trophy match 3-1 against Sunderland Under-21s, after their excellent 4-0 away victory at Plymouth Argyle last Saturday.
Meanwhile, Bury were not in cup action during the week, but they drew 0-0 at rivals Rochdale last weekend.
TEAM NEWS…
There are no fresh injury concerns from the last two games, so the same squad is expected to travel to Bury on Saturday.
Jonathon Margetts and Luke Williams are still out injured and won’t be involved.
PAST MEETINGS…
The last time the two sides met, Scunthorpe came away 3-2 winners at Glanford Park in January of last season. It was three first-half goals from Harry Toffolo, Stephen Dawson and Josh Morris which won the game for the home side.

ONE TO WATCH…
One player the Iron need to keep an eye is former loanee Jermaine Beckford, who scored eight goals in 18 games in 2007. Since then, Beckford has gone on to play in the Premier League for Everton and was a regular goalscorer for Leeds United. The 33-year-old is now with the Shakers, scoring twice in the league so far.
