Keith Hill praises Barton and 'magnificent' Bristol Rovers but Scunthorpe plan to spoil party

Keith Hill has offered plenty of praise to Bristol Rovers manager Joey Barton, but the Scunthorpe United manager insists his team will not "roll over" as the Gas pursue promotion on the final day.

Barton's blues are fourth in League Two, level on points Northampton Town in the final automatic promotion place ahead of the last round of fixtures on Saturday. The Gas need to better Northampton's result against Barrow, or win by a margin five goals better than the Cobblers should Jon Brady's side claim three points at Holker Street.

The Gas will face already-relegated Scunthorpe at a sold-out Mem, with the Iron enduring a terrible season with just four wins in 45 games. Their 72-year stay in the EFL will come to an end Saturday, but Hill insists his youthful squad will not leave without a fight.
