Scunthorpe United manager Nigel Adkins has high hopes that summer signing Garry Thompson will be fit for the big League One kick-off against Leeds on Saturday.

Midfielder McCann, who signed from Barnsley back in January, has struggled in recent weeks with a foot injury but returned to action in Saturday's 4-0 friendly win over Lincoln.
