Scunthorpe helped their League One play-off hopes with a win over relegation-threatened Hereford.

Gary Hooper put the home side ahead when he fired an angled shot past keeper Peter Gulasci for his 26th goal of the season.

Hooper then turned provider as he set up winger Kevan Hurst for his second goal in successive home games.
