The Iron return to action this Saturday with a home encounter against Crewe Alexandra (3pm kick-off).
SCENE-SETTER...
Scunthorpe come into the game buoyed by two impressive performances on the road against League Two high-flyers Bradford City, where we drew 2-2, and then away at League One side Portsmouth in the quarter-finals of the Leasing.com Trophy, where United were narrowly defeated 2-1.
Should results go our way, a victory could see Paul Hurst's side climb up a place to 13th in the table.
Crewe arrive sitting third in the division, and on the back of a 1-1 away draw at Macclesfield Town on Tuesday night, which was secured through a late equaliser.
