Adkins plots Wembley trophy win

Adkins led Scunthorpe to promotion from League One in 2007

Scunthorpe United manager Nigel Adkins is targeting a Wembley win after his side reached the final of the JP Trophy by beating Rotherham 3-0 on aggregate.

The Iron will play Luton Town on 5 April and Adkins told BBC Radio Humberside they want to be winners.

He said: "We set our stall out to get there and put smiles on people's faces.

"We navigated out way through the competition and we want to win it just as we want to gain promotion back to the Championship. That's our aim."

Adkins was full of praise for his side and he believes the town should be proud of the football club and its players.

Scunthorpe's leading scorer Gary Hooper has never played at Wembley

He added: "We've got an honest bunch of players who works their socks off. We're at Wembley and the supporters can enjoy the day but we've got to make sure we go there and win the tournament."

Gary Hooper's lone goal at the Don Valley Stadium was enough on the night after United carried a two-goal cushion from the first leg into the game against Rotherham.

And the 21-year-old striker says he is excited at the prospect of playing at Wembley.

He said: "I've never played there before so it will be a good day for the fans, my family and hopefully we'll get our hands on the cup and win the game.

"I've never been to the new Wembley Stadium but I'm from London and it will be a great day and I can't wait for it. I'm really excited but tomorrow is another day and we're back training on Thursday and play Swindon on Saturday and we need to focus on the league now."
