Rotherham United travel to Glanford Park tomorrow, for the first leg of the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy area final, knowing that they are only two games away from a probably game at Wembley.
The Iron have lost three of their last four games – all of which have been played away from home – and are sixth in League One.
In contrast, the Millers haven’t lost a game since the beginning of December and Mark Robins men are nineteenth in League Two.
Vital Quotes:
Mark Robins – We’re the underdogs but we are determined to come home with a good result. We’re taking a lot of support and we can try to make it feel like a home game. The prize that awaits us is a massive one.
Skipper Cliff Byrne – There is a big carrot at the end of these two games and hopefully the fans can turn out and get behind us. We need to get off to a winning start in the home leg because it will be one tough tie
Scunthorpe Team News:
Nigel Adkins will probably be without Grant McCann and Sam Togwell and Ian Morris isn’t yet fit to play. Matt Sparrow will probably be beside Andrew Wright in midfield.

Rotherham Team News:
