Team News: Clitheroe (H)

With the Iron in action for the first time this calendar year this evening, Andy Butler's first line-up of 2026 features a medley of changes from Scunthorpe's previous fixture against Gateshead.

Some positive news regarding the United team selection, with long-term absentee Will Evans returning to the Starting XI for the first time since October, alongside Alfie Beestin, who also makes his first start since returning to full fitness. Goalkeeper Louis Jones is named between the sticks for United, and Midfielder Zain Westbrooke is set to start days after announcing his loan extension from Doncaster Rovers; however, his fellow Rovers loanee Kyle Hurst is unable to feature due to being cup-tied.

IRON: Jones, Horton, Evans, Boyce, Howe, Beestin, Roberts, Rowley, Ubaezuonu, Westbrooke, Barrows
