Leeds boss Simon Grayson has revealed his delight after United's League One play-off spot was confirmed.

Scunthorpe's 3-3 draw at Northampton on Tuesday means Leeds cannot drop out of the top six in the table.

Grayson told the club website: "We knew we were almost there after Saturday, but Tuesday's result confirms it.

"It was our first priority and we're pleased it's confirmed - but we still have two league games remaining and they are our next priority."

"We're looking to finish with two more positive results to take forward to the play-offs," Grayson added.

"That's what I was looking for before we had this confirmed and nothing has changed.

It's important we keep the momentum going and prepare ourselves right Simon Grayson

"We have two more games to play before our focus moves on and as I said after Saturday, I don't want the season just to come to an end."

While Leeds fans can now start planning for the play-offs, it has yet to be decided who the club will meet in the two-legged semi-final.

Millwall or MK Dons are likely to provide the opposition although second-placed Peterborough could yet be overhauled.

Scunthorpe and Tranmere - who meet on the final day of the season - will contest the final play-off position.

Grayson said: "It's important we keep the momentum going and prepare ourselves right for what we hope will be three games in the play-offs."
