Boothroyd and Baraclough are footballing friends from their days at Mansfield Town and the City boss said to the CT after the Sky Blues 2-0 win at Glanford Park on Saturday: "I'm very pleased with the result because Scunthorpe are a better team than their home results suggest.
"I'm sure that with Ian Baraclough in charge, they will be firing on all cyclinders before too long."
