Scunthorpe's promotion hopes were rocked as Bristol Rovers claimed only their third away win of the season.

The visitors, without leading scorer Rickie Lambert through injury, took the lead with Darryl Duffy's low shot.

Jo Kuffour made it 2-0 when he waltzed unchallenged into the box and shot home through the legs of keeper Joe Murphy.

Rovers keeper Steve Phillips saved a 54th-minute penalty from Paul Hayes, while late on, Grant McCann sent a shot against the underside of the bar.
