Scunthorpe and Wrexham drew at Glanford Park in an entertaining opener to the new season.

Wrexham lost midfielder Waynne Phillips with a broken leg only seven minutes into the game when he stretched into a tackle.

That left them unsettled and they fell behind in the 14th minute when a deep cross from the left by Peter Beagrie found Alex Calvo-Garcia unmarked to head home easily.

The Welsh side were saved further embarrassment when goalkeeper Kris Rogers saved brilliantly from Paul Wheatcroft's volley.

Wrexham showed more imagination in the second period and deservedly equalised in the 65th minute.

Andy Morrell tapped the ball home after the opening had been created by Carlos Edwards.

After that, both sides seemed to settle for a point and there was little more excitement.
