Scunthorpe v Bradford preview
Friday 4 May 2018 16:44, UK
Scunthorpe's interim manager Nick Daws is expected to make changes for his side's home game against Bradford.
Daws has no new injury or suspension worries following the Iron's midweek win against Plymouth, which secured them a place in the play-offs.
Barnsley loanee Cameron McGeehan, who stepped off the bench on Tuesday night, is pushing for a start after recovering from a knee injury. Fellow midfielder Neal Bishop, Tom Hopper, Lee Novak, Cameron Burgess and Marnick Vermijl are all in contention.
Bradford's on-loan Derby midfielder Callum Guy is an injury doubt after straining a hamstring in the midweek draw against Millwall. Central defender Matt Kilgallon will be assessed after missing out on Tuesday night due to a calf problem.
Striker Dominic Poleon is hoping to recover from the illness which kept him sidelined against Millwall. Fellow forward Kai Bruenker (ankle), winger Tyrell Robinson (shoulder) and midfielder Jake Reeves (groin) remain sidelined.
