The Iron sit bottom of the league and, a week after their 6-1 hammering by Harrogate, some fans protested outside the stadium against owner Peter Swann.

They kept out Rovers for an hour but Jamille Matt picked himself up to convert a penalty after being fouled by Jai Rowe and Ebou Adams (right) made it 2-0 five minutes later.
