Scunthorpe are three points away from an automatic promotion spot

Scunthorpe United boss Graham Alexander will serve a one-match touchline ban after admitting a Football Association misconduct charge.

The 45-year-old "used abusive and/or insulting language" towards an official at the end of their League One defeat by Gillingham on 11 March.

Alexander has accepted the standard penalty, which includes a £1,000 fine.

Scunthorpe, who are fourth, conceded three late penalties in the match to lose after they had held a 2-0 lead.
