As we prepare to visit Leyton Orient on Good Friday, we take a look at our full past record against the O's.
UNITED ROMP TO VICTORY IN 2015
Leyton Orient 1-4 Iron
Saturday, January 31, 2015
Tom Hopper scored twice as Scunthorpe improved their League One survival prospects and put Leyton Orient in further trouble.
Liam O'Neil put the Iron ahead with a curling shot past Gary Woods, who was beaten again when he flapped at Gary McSheffrey's ball into the box.
Hopper slid in a third from close range, before substitute Darius Henderson replied with a penalty after being fouled in the box.
But Hopper completed the win 10 minutes from time after O'Neil's sublime pass.
WEMBLEY GLORY FOR SCUNTHORPE
Leyton Orient 0-1 Iron
Saturday, May 29, 1999
The Iron celebrated promotion at Wembley in 1999 following a slender 1-0 victory over Leyton Orient in the Division Three Play-Off Final.
Gareth Sheldon returned to the starting line-up following the suspension of John Eyre for two yellow cards in the semi-final second leg, while Paul Harsley arrived at Wembley celebrating his 21st birthday.
It was the stand-in for Eyre who assisted the opening - and eventually decisive - goal, firing in a cross close to the goal line for Alex Calvo-Garcia to glance home a header in the sixth minute.
The Iron had chances in the first half with Chris Hope and Andy Dawson both going close but after two alterations at half time, the O's sprang to life in the second half.
Nevertheless, the defence and 'keeper Tommy Evans remained resolute and a clean sheet meant a first promotion in sixteen years was confirmed.
