Ahead of our pre-season friendly with Nottingham Forest, we take a look back at our previous matches against the Championship side.
The two teams both last met in 2010-11, taking three points each over the league meetings.
Chris Dagnall netted the only goal of the game at Glanford Park to hand United all three points, while Forest emphatically took the victory in the reverse fixture.
One of the most memorable encounters came at the City Ground in 2006, with first versus second meeting live on Sky Sports. Scunthorpe shellshocked their opponents on their home soil by putting four goals past Forest - Cleveland Taylor, Andy Keogh, Ian Morris and Billy Sharp all netting.
