Scunthorpe United have appointed Stuart McCall as their new manager, with Kenny Black joining as his assistant.

McCall comes in as a replacement for Nick Daws, who was sacked just four league games into the season.

Andy Dawson remains at the club as first-team coach, having overseen their 2-2 draw at home to Barnsley on Saturday.

Scunthorpe were steered to the Sky Bet League One play-offs under Daws last season, but currently sit 18th after taking five points from five games.

McCall, 54, guided Bradford to the League One play-off final in the 2016-17 campaign, but was dismissed in early 2018 after six successive defeats.
