    Plymouth Argyle can move into the League One play-off spots with victory over Scunthorpe at Glanford Park on Tuesday night, live on Sky Sports Football.

    Argyle manager Derek Adams is delighted with his side's current form after beating Rotherham 2-1 on Saturday to remain in the hunt for a play-off spot with two games of the regular season remaining.

    Ahead of the rearranged crunch match, he believes the pressure is on the Iron to hold on to sixth place heading into the final round of games this weekend.

    Adams said: "They have been up there the last two seasons being in the play-offs. They are a team that want to get out of this division from the financial aspect they throw a lot of money at it to get themselves into the Championship.

    Pilgrims boss Derek Adams recently told Soccer Saturday that he believes the improved discipline on the field has led to the change in Argyle's fortunes

    "We are looking forward to it, we have nothing to lose and everything to gain. We are in seventh position, Scunthorpe and Charlton are above us and they have been there the majority of the season. We are the ones that have been chasing.

    "At this stage of the season we have done all our good work. We have put ourselves in a very good position and whatever happens now is an added bonus."

    Team news

    Scunthorpe forward Ivan Toney is an injury doubt.

    Toney, on loan from Newcastle, was forced out of Saturday's win at MK Dons and replaced by Lee Novak after sustaining a heavy knock.

    Barnsley loanee Cameron McGeehan will also be assessed after he missed out on Saturday due to a knee injury.

    Luke Williams (hamstring) and Jonathon Margetts (knee) remain long-term absentees.

    Plymouth's Jamie Ness has been ruled out for the rest of the season due to a hamstring injury.

    Midfielder Ness will miss the clash against his former club after sustaining the injury in the closing stages of Saturday's home win against Rotherham.

    Striker Ryan Taylor (ankle), Moses Makasi (knee) and another midfielder Paul Paton (ankle) are all still out, but Lionel Ainsworth overcame a hamstring injury to step off the bench at the weekend.
