Gateshead
Scunthorpe United
Next up ‘On the Road’ for the Heed is a 266-mile round trip to The Attis Arena, where we face Scunthorpe United in the Enterprise National League on Tuesday evening.
The Iron are going well in their first season back in the National League, and occupy 6th position in the Enterprise National League, with a commendable 46 points from 23 games. Scunthorpe have won their last five games in all competitions, most recently defeating Hartlepool United 2-1 at Victoria Park, with both goals scored by ex-Heed loanee, Callum Roberts.
Roberts is one of four former Heed men in The Iron’s ranks, alongside Jean Belehouan, Branden Horton and Tyrell Sellars-Fleming.
We’ve Met Before
The most recent meeting between these two sides was back in April 2023, with a resurgent Heed side triumphing 2-0 at the International Stadium. First half goals from Greg Olley and Stephen Wearne put the Heed in cruise control, before Tom Pugh saw red for The Iron with just 38 minutes on the clock.

Gateshead ended 2025 with a 2-0 defeat away to Scunthorpe United, seeing the Heed sink bottom of the National League table.
