BANBURY United will look to extend their winning run to three games when they welcome a former second tier side tonight.
Scunthorpe United were relegated from the Championship during the 2010/11 campaign, and suffered consecutive drops in the last two seasons.
The Iron are third in Vanarama National League North, and have won three of their last five league fixtures.

Banbury manager Mark Jones told Puritans Radio: “If you had said to me six to seven years ago that Banbury and Scunthorpe would have been in the same league, people would have probably laughed.
“It wasn’t that long ago they were playing in the Championship. No disrespect to them, as they have had a tough few years, but it’s great for us, and it will be good to have a game under the lights that we can look forward to.”
The Puritans saw their home clash with Chorley on Saturday postponed due to a waterlogged pitch, but have won back-to-back games on the road at Boston United and Southport.
