The Iron are back at Glanford Park this Saturday when Shrewsbury make the visit for our latest Sky Bet League One clash (kick-off 3pm).
Graham Alexander’s side drew 3-3 at high-flying Wigan last weekend, with a brace from Tom Hopper and a goal from Ivan Toney.
Shrewsbury, who are in third position, beat Walsall 2-0 as they look to achieve automatic promotion.
