Ahead of our pre-season friendly with Lincoln City, we take a look back at our previous matches against the League Two side.
The two sides have met competitively on 70 occasions so far, but staggeringly the 71st competitive meeting coming in this seasons's Checkatrade Trophy in a couple of months time will come over 12 years after the last.
United took the bragging rights in the last meeting, following an extra time victory in the League Cup in 2006 - Steve Torpey, David Mulligan, Shane Paul and Ian Baraclough's goals enough to edge past the Imps at Glanford Park on the night.
The last pair of league meetings came in League Two back in 2004-05. Lincoln took all three points in the Sky Sports encounter at Sincil Bank, but earlier in the campaign, it was Scunthorpe who edged to victory with two late goals from Andy Butler at Glanford Park after Richard Kell had put the side ahead.
See below for a full lowdown of our competitive history with Saturday's opposition.
