Head-to-head: Doncaster Rovers

Tuesday sees the Iron take on Doncaster Rovers for the 65th time in their history. Here’s a lowdown of our past meetings.

IRON BEAT ROVERS AT HOME FOR FIRST TIME IN TEN YEARS...
Scunthorpe United 2-0 Doncaster Rovers
Tuesday, 8th March, 2016
League One

Managed by Nick Daws, the Iron beat Doncaster Rovers 2-0 at Glanford Park in our last game against them here in March 2016.

The home side took the lead when Tom Hopper swept in a shot following a left-wing cross from Conor Townsend.

Doncaster struggled to break down a solid home defence and went further behind when centre-back David Mirfin headed in a Jim O'Brien corner.

VICTORY IN OUR LAST LEAGUE MEETING...
Doncaster Rovers 0-1 Scunthorpe United
Sunday, 17th September, 2017
League One

Lee Novak scored his first goal for Scunthorpe as they beat League One neighbours Doncaster at the Keepmoat Stadium in September 2017.

Novak, a deadline-day signing from Charlton, put Scunthorpe ahead after 10 minutes when he headed home a Josh Morris corner.

Rovers improved after the break and had a couple of good early chances to level. John Marquis smashed a low effort off the near post while Andy Williams fired over from Ben Whiteman's through ball.

Morris fired a free-kick from 30 yards narrowly over while Murray Wallace poked a loose ball onto the bar as Scunthorpe teased adding a second.

SHARP AND KEOGH DOWN DONNY...
Scunthorpe United 2-0 Doncaster Rovers
Saturday, 30th September, 2006
League One

Second-half goals from strikers Billy Sharp and Andy Keogh gave Scunthorpe a derby win against Doncaster.

The home side took the lead in the 54th minute when Sharp fired in his eighth goal of the season, a right-foot shot low into the bottom far corner.

Keogh then made it 2-0 on 68 minutes when he found room for himself in the box to crash in a right-foot shot.
